Step By Step

 The fields that usually grow corn are not yet planted, and after the grass started reaching maximum height, some trucks came in and now the grasses are all turning yellow. Assuming this is how they cut hay, as part of crop rotation. They've been growing corn for consecutive years since I moved here 5 years ago, but I do remember one year seeing hay bales.

I hit the 10 Mile mark this week on my daily walks.

I woke up today having logged 7 for the week. After talking the last two days off because of rain and work. So I made up for it by meeting my goal as soon as the rain stopped.

Tomorrow is going to a lot like today, with lots of clouds and cool temps in the 60s. I personally like it this way, especially for excercise. I'll probably goo for another 2 miles tomorrow.

Walk The Line

 In an effort to stay fit, I have gone on regular walks of a mile nearly every day. I've recently been trying to double that amount and see what results I get. To walk 10 miles a week, I can do it 5 days or less. Not slow walking either, like trying to get to the train on time kind of walking. It's a beautiful view either way!

Sometimes, I turn around and come back the same way, or go in a complete circle, around farmlands, rolling landscapes and pleasant houses. The only traffic I encounter are occasionals tractors and machinery. Off road vehicles may include a small group of motorcyclists or mountain bikes (I have the latter, which I'll start using when the mosquitos show up soon) 

Walks like these last between 20 and 40 minutes and go from 1 to 3 miles. Then I can go back to playing guitar!
