I enjoy a good cup of coffee and thankfully we have a fabulous coffee place here in town! Now that it is warmer out (today was 7 degrees but a bit chilly with the wind) I am trying to get out for daily walks with Julianne that last at least an hour. Yesterday we were joined by our friends Jessica and Noah boot our first walk and then by tara and jace for our second walk. Today we went and did our errands on foot so we went alone.
I enjoy these walks for several reasons:
1) I get exercise and Julianne gets a change of scenery
2) we both get fresh air so we sleep better at night (or so they say)
3) we see lots of familiar faces or meet some new ones!
4) we usually get to stop for a cup of coffee (not daily though as that would add up!)
5) we can visit with friends while getting in some of our daily steps!
I am sure there are other benefits but the above sums up the major reasons I go walking. Sometimes we use the stroller, like today with her car seat attachment to block her from the wind. Other days we use the baby carrier. Both are different types of work outs. I am hoping this summer to pick up the bicycle attachment so I can also go biking with Julianne at birds hill park.
