If I have to train, there aren’t many places I’d rather be than on Georgian Bay.

Taking Advantage of Great Weather
Today, Cindy & I enjoyed a beautiful 2.5 hour hike at Awenda Park. The fall leaves are starting, and the view from the beach was amazing! Hopefully I can make a habit of long walks on sunny Wednesdays.
Hiking Blue Mountain
I took the advice of CTG OT Lindsay Amey and hiked up Blue Mountain a couple times. Wore the pack with 20lb weight and enjoyed my first hike with my poles. My friend, Cindy Thor, joined me and our best time up Cascade Trail was 19 minutes.
Four Months
Four months from now I will be on the plane – flying to Africa!! It is exciting, thrilling and very scary all at the same time. I will admit that in the past nine years the longest I have been away from my girls is 3 nights. And now, I plan to be half way across the world for 12 days! They will have a fantasic “Daddy & Girls” time – but I will miss them all like crazy!

Making Progress
My training continues to progress. This week I took 10 minutes off the “long, hilly walk”. I held a plank for just over 2 minutes. And, this morning I did 11 push-ups (admittedly, they were not consecutive – but 5+3+3=11!)
