Day 179

I had almost an hour of free time today. My head was telling me go to the gym and use the treadmill or you’ll never get in your 11,000 steps. (It was too hot to walk outside.) But my heart was telling me go sit on your floating chair in the pool and read. After […]

Day 178

My favorite place to be on a warm, summer night in Rochester is Frontier Field. There’s just something relaxing about sitting outside and feeling the rhythm of the game – pitch, hit, run, catch, repeat. I also like watching darkness slowly envelope the city, and I like to hear the train running in the background. Then […]

Day 177

If you want to feel good, go to a 90th birthday party. Today we celebrated my cousin Gerry’s birthday at the Fairport VFW hall.  See for yourself. Gerry could easily pass for 70. This picture was taken before she started dancing. I don’t know if Gerry has been drinking from the Fountain of Youth, but I […]

Day 176 Whispering Pines Mini-golf

Whispering Pines mini-golf course in Sea Breeze is on the National Register of Historic Places, having been opened in 1930 and in continual use since then. I challenged my husband to game there today – it’s the only type of golf we play. The course is old and shows it’s age, but there were a […]

Day 175

At least 3 times today I was going to go for a walk, and it started to rain or it looked like it would start to rain. Finally at 7:45 the clouds were white and blue instead of gray and black, and the sun was shining even as it was sinking. I started out of […]

Day 174 Webster Commons

Today I got my steps in a number of various places. Here a step, there a step, everywhere a step, step. Anyway, I logged over 3,000 steps at Webster Commons. Given that it’s a shopping mall with a huge parking lot, Webster Commons is very pedestrian friendly. An outdoor mall, designed in a big square […]

Day 173 Strawberry Social

I’ve discovered that in order to log 11,000 steps a day I have to make stepping my #1 priority. The only problem is that my family wants to be my #1 priority and so do my friends, my church, and my writing. It seems like they’re all fighting every day to be #1. Today my […]

Day 172

When I started this blog, I was really hoping to get my steps in by walking in many different places. What I’m finding is that more often than not, I’m walking in my own neighborhood just because I don’t have time to drive any distance and walk too. The upside is that because of the […]
