Enjoying the Trails with Our Dogs

Fit and Strong, Hiking

Last weekend Jill and I enjoyed the trails with our dogs when we got our two dogs together to meet and hike for the first time. Jill's dog Penny is just over a year old and still a youngster. Peanut turned 9 years old in March. Both dogs are females. I was very happy that they got along very well. Actually after the initial hello, they basically ignored each other and were much more interested in sniffing the grass and looking at all the geese, other hikers and other dogs. We hiked the trail at Hudson Spring Park which features some open areas but mostly shade as it circles Hudson Springs Lake. It was mid-afternoon so the weather was still pretty hot, even in the shade,...

Staying cool by walking around a lake in the shade

Staying Cool during the Hot Days of Summer

Is it just me, or is getting harder to stay cool? It's been very hot outside and I've noticed my body isn't adjusted to the hot temperatures of summer yet! Too Hot to Handle My 22-mile bike ride this past weekend required two 24 oz water bottles, a scarf with pellets to soak in water to keep my neck cold and a large ice water from the restaurant at breakfast. Even so, according to my FitBit I had an hour and 23 minutes of peak heart rate, which by any of my standards is too much. Although I enjoyed breakfast in the middle of the ride, it pushed the second half of the ride later in the day and we didn't finish up until almost 1 in...

Why stay fit? It's hard sometimes to remember why. And then I have a couple of weeks like the past two weeks that remind me in so many wonderful ways. Vacation: My family took a vacation to the beach and I enjoyed it immensely. Although we have traveled to this same beach many times during the past 28 years, I think this year had special meaning. Following the pandemic, I am so very very thankful for my good health and strong body. I spent a lot of time at the beach walking the dog early morning and late afternoon. We walked for hours on the beach, listening to the waves and enjoying the smells of salt water. The weather didn't always cooperate, but I still loved it. It was Peanut's first...
