90 Day Challenge - Day 42

Sorry that I stood you up Tony, it seems I had a date with nature this morning!! 

Today I woke up and looked outside and the biggest snowflakes were falling  so I decided that I needed to go outside for another brisk walk.  I took my little dog Jack with me.  He is a Silky Terrier and weighs about 8 or so pounds.  As I was trudging through the snow we came upon a large black dog, unleashed, heading straight for us.  So that is when I introduced weight training with my cardio workout.  I carried him for about 15 minutes as the dog escorted us down the road.  Eventually his owner drove by to pick him up and bring him home and I could rest my muscles and let him down. 

I loved every minute of my walk.  I loved being outside in the stillness.  I loved the fresh air and the feeling of the wet snowflakes melting on my face.  I loved that I was exercising and I realized on my way home that I had been smiling for the full hour.  I realize that I have been working so many hours these days in front of my computer that my soul was aching to be outside in nature.  What a beautiful way to start my day, and now I can end it by sharing it with you.

How do you start your day each morning?
