It took several years but I lost over fifty pounds, my joints didn't ache anymore, and met a goal of finishing the Equinox marathon. <br /><br />Unfortunately, since then I gained back some of the weight but I think I'm back on track again. <br /><br /><b>Dar:</b><br />Thank you for stopping by and commenting. It has been a short summer but there is probably another month to our riding season. There is very little chance of no snow for us. ;-)RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-68004307732133505222011-09-14T18:01:31.462-08:002011-09-14T18:01:31.462-08:00Lovely pictures!

I am praying for a mild winter with no snow, otherwise it's the bus for me. I used to do a lot of walking, but somehow lost my motivation. Time to start again because I always felt better. <br /><br />10 miles!

The leaves are still deep green here, and with all the rain, they have yet to get that worn out, tired look. <br /><br />The equinox will be here in eight days, and summer will be drawing to a close. Normally, it seems as if the seasons tend to overlap a bit, but it will be 65º here tomorrow, a 20º drop that is more likely to be the norm. <br /><br />In many respects, I welcome it. <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack/reep<br />Twiaed RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-74452804757324355142011-09-14T11:19:54.649-08:002011-09-14T11:19:54.649-08:00Circle Blue:

I don't know what the temperature was but there was fog hanging over the surface of a small lake.<br /><br /><b>Trobairitz:</b><br />Yesterday, I managed to get in 10.4 miles of walking. The chancellor did his welcome to the university thing right after lunch so that meant a long, meandering walk down to lower campus and back. I actually still enjoy walking if I can get away from traffic. There are a lot of runners out and about getting ready for the marathon this coming Saturday and the x-country skiers are out on their roller skis getting ready for winter.<br /><br />Thank you both for stopping by and commenting.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-71365592694701630852011-09-14T07:45:56.671-08:002011-09-14T07:45:56.671-08:00Beautiful pictures Richard.

I too enjoy a walk in the evenings or on weekends, although we haven't been doing much of it lately.<br /><br />My mom hunted in BC when I was a kid and our favorite was always moose.

I, too, used to look forward to winter. Now, not so much. Too many old aches and pains like to visit. Still up for some snowshoeing though.<br /><br />Thanks for the share.Keith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-87054342741725934122011-09-13T11:53:33.003-08:002011-09-13T11:53:33.003-08:00Dom:

Now, less so but still looking forward to x-country skiing again.<br /><br />I started to walk years ago since it was one of the few exercises that I could actually do. The university created some competition and some social networking and for me it was successful. Now, I'm just trying to get back into it. For me, audiobooks and podcasts are the key to enjoying walking by myself.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-4641280863914110142011-09-12T19:24:38.658-08:002011-09-12T19:24:38.658-08:00As much as I like the fall season, I don't lik...As much as I like the fall season, I don't like that the cold, white, wet stuff is following after. For me it could be spring to summer to fall and back to spring again.<br />Well, at least in BC we still get the occasional riding weather.<br />As for walking... I wish I wasn't such a lazy bum, and had a walking buddy. Walking alone is so boring.SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-36413803599017189862011-09-12T17:20:35.555-08:002011-09-12T17:20:35.555-08:00Conchscooter:
