Good morning! 😀 I feel good. Really good. The sun is out (odd but true!) and I am sitting at my kitchen table with scrambled egg whites and spinach and of course…. COFFEE CUP.
It’s very…
zen like.
First words out of my mouth this morning when I woke up: “train wreck”.
That is the way my body felt getting up…. my arms ache, my legs ache, my back is tight (not hurt!) just tight, I can feel my calves stretch and pull and it feels WONDERFUL.
Yesterday I took the morning Group Power class and yesterday late afternoon I took the kick boxing class. Both for the first time in two weeks since I hurt my back and recovered. It just feels so good to feel my muscles saying “WHA???????? I thought we were done with that!”
After work today I am either on biking or blading…. the weather looks good and I can not miss out on a good day when it looks like it will turn back to rain the following two days…. *sigh* and of course hoping so much for a nice Saturday for the MS bike ride. I can not easily say no to this one as this is a team ride.
What are you doing as spring has inched its way around the world…. are you a garden person (I wish I was more of one!), a flower child? A runner, a biker, a relax on the deck with a stack of books and a LARGE ice tea person (oooh I like that one!), a spring cleaner, a bird watcher….
Book Journey 
fitrst thing?? OPEN THE WINDOWS!!!! to finally smell/feel fresh air, feel a breeze….it’s the best!
Oh yeah – the windows!!!! Good one Diana! 😀
I love walking in the park and taking pictures of the pretty blooming flowers (if only my allergies didn’t hate them so much). I also LOVE running in the spring rain. It is supposed to rain where I am tomorrow. Can’t wait!
That is an awesome visual…. you make me want to do that too 🙂
I’m definitely a kick back and relax girl. Large coffee, huge pile of books, phone off – that’s me 🙂
OOH thats nice too… I like days like that 🙂
Since I’m the one who has to take care of the yard, I’m a ride the Cub Cadet until my rear end can’t take it anymore person. Then (!), I’m a sit on the patio with iced tea and a good book person.
I like mowing the lawn on the rider Barbara as that is audio time on the IPOD…. 😀
I love sitting outside a restaurant in an outdoor mall, with a drink, my book, and my “people watching” eyes tuned to those around me.
Enjoy!!
That sounds fun Laurel….. we have a couple spots around that would be good for that…. maybe I need to try it 😀
I enjoy riding my bike on the Mill Creek Trail and I also walk 2.2 miles every day. Both of these activities especially the bike riding are great activities in the Spring. I have read that you enjoy riding as well. I love to garden. This last Saturday I went to the annual plant sale for the Master Gardeners club and purchased all my garden plants. Peppers, Tomatoes, Squash, and Flowers are now waiting under cover for a couple of weeks before I place in the the garden. I do not want to take a chance that a Kansas Frost will damage the young plants. There are two seasons that I love the most, Spring and Fall. I am really enjoying my Spring. Hope everyone else finds each day filled with many blessings.
That is so awesome Steve that you walk each day! I wish I could maintain a garden but it is so hard in actoive life to put the love into that I need too…. I think I need to think small as I do love fresh vegies 😀
I love spring through fall.
This year I am a teach-my-girls-to-ride-a-bike, and walk VERY slowly behind them while they do kind of person! I have so enjoyed getting outside with the girls since the weather has turned, although we have had more rain than sun as of late!
Sounds like you have a wonderful plan Bonnie 🙂 We had more poor weather than nice lately too so I am thankful for any nice day I can get 😀
When the weather gets nice, I love taking long walks and then finding someplace gorgeous to sit down and relax with a good book.
That sounds wonderful Meg…. I read a lot on my back deck…. its secluded there and the only sounds are birds and squirrels. 😀
I love riding my bike, reading outside, walking on the beach, taking photos and sitting outside listening to the birds.
That sounds wonderful…. I am not near a beach but if I was I would definitely be spending time there with my books 😀
We go on family walks, so I guess I’m a walker. 🙂 We bought a treadmill last week, and I’m working my way up to going faster on it without hurting myself. I have this irrational fear of flying backwards off of it into my couch. So far I’m fast walking but haven’t worked my way up to jogging or running yet. I decided to track my progress on a spreadsheet though so that I can get a sense of accomplishment from it and set goals, etc.
Tracking progress is fun Alyce – I like doing that too…. its fun to see the miles add up 😀
Well you know…I live in CA and the weather is nice most of the time. So no changes to my routine! :-p
I wish I lived somewhere with weather like that Jill… I get so sick of our cold and long white winters. 😛
Here in Houston we can ride year-round, and I do. In fact, I have a bit of an lol at your question, because the weather is not “starting to get nice” here – this past weekend we did a mountain bike race at which Husband’s Garmin claims we hit a high temp of 102. It has mostly ceased to be nice, although we’re hoping for a few days below 90 degrees still left in May… I like to ride my bikes and run when it’s not too hot. (When it’s too hot I get up at 4am to do it.)
Husband recently built a new deck in the backyard and I really like reading out there with the dogs running around and a tall drink.
Julia I love HOT weather…. when I am in Honduras I am so happy to be in that 90+ weather….. why i live in Minnesota is someone’ s idea of a joke…LOL
I would love to bike year around and I am so jealous that you get too! :razz We are snowed in from December – March at least and this year – April too.
And I, for my part, cannot even conceive of your weather!! The heat can get a bit much – but I’m from here and for the most part exult in it. I absolutely cannot handle the cold, argh. They’re trying to transfer the Husband to Chicago which sounds like death and torture to us. 😦 (please no offense, Chicagoans, it seems a lovely city. in the summer.) Sheila we probably have room for you down here…
I am all of the above in varying degrees and at different times.
Dont you love multiple personalities Patty? 😛
I’ve had the windows open, does that count? :p
Absolutely! I love the windows open…. I am hoping to that myself this week 😀
It’s almost daily this week here. Loving it!
We are not quite there but man I hope soon…. today was beautiful 🙂
I’m going to have to start closing them for the afternoons, at least — I don’t want the inside to match the forecasted 80s of early next week!
Today is nice – mid 60’s… I am going to mow the lawn
I like to drive out to the countriside and go for a nice gentle stroll. During the walk I usually find a nice place to stop and read for a bit, as well as leave a bookcrossing book for someone else to find.
Abigail I used to do Bookcrossing all the time… I had so much fun with it…. did you ever have a response on one of your books…. I only had one and it was from a truck driver who found the book I had left outside a plant shop. The book wound up going to Virginia which I thought was pretty cool 😀
Garden is clear, waiting for new garden furniture to lounge on. I used to be a biker until my bike was stolen but depending on whether i move to the countryside i am thinking of taking it up again.
Ice tea and a HUGE stack of books sounds amazing! 😀
Oh fun…. i can not wait to get to a few outdoor things…. 😀
