Beautiful Day for a Walk

Day 4 of walking, I'm so happy that I've been keeping it up.  Met up with Dana and her little furbaby, Luna, for the walk today and the walk yesterday.  I was inspired by her blog to include photographs, so I brought mine along today.  Here are a few shots I got:

I love the reflection of the clouds in the water.

The weather was chilly but the sunshine and the day was beautiful.  We did our loop around St. Mary's and then walked to Laurel Grove and did a figure 8 kinda loop there.  It was nice to just walk and talk about anything and everything.  It also helped that Luna was so cute.  So much energy for such a little thing.





But I am very happy that I've actually gone for walks 4 days in a row.  I feel very accomplished and I've been sleeping better.  I love that I think about where I'm going to go and map out a path in my head.  I don't want to get bored by doing the same one every day.  I'm also happy that I'm up to 5.5 miles.  I know it will vary, especially once I incorporate some jogging.   But its nice to go for the walk and then come home and still have time to do the things I enjoy:  such as reading.

beautiful sunshine on the water... you'd never know it was cold

I loved the stone wall lining the path.

I just finished a book the other day, the third book in a week.  I just received books from Amazon today.  I'm really excited to start a new one tomorrow.  I thought I was going to start tonight but this blog took me longer than I thought.  I'm either going to start book 2 of the "Slightly" series I've been reading.  Its a "chick lit" series and the next one is called "Slightly Settled."  I to read books that I can escape in and do not have to think much.  But Dana really recommended that I read "The Noticer" which will make me think A LOT.  So we shall see what wins over.
