That is great that you are having nice weather and found a nice walking trail. I live in a capitol city that has a river running through it. Many trees and green belt(trail) run along it. My city also has many parks and lots of areas to walk connecting in some areas to the green belt. It is 69 degrees here right now at 5:21P.. Not bad huh?

We have been having surprisingly warm weather. I am in Idaho and usually it is pretty cold up until May. We watch the mountains and when the snow is gone we know it is time to plant. Usually mid May or so. I live in a valley with mountains to the north so we don't get alot of snow but it does get cold. Not so this year.

The weather has been pretty good for us recently and it has been something that I've definitely been able to enjoy. I really do want to take one day and load up our bikes in the van and take them to the Freedom Trail that we have here in town. It is a twelve mile walk/run/bike trail that my sister, the kids and myself walked one day right after it opened. Now that my son is able to ride a two-wheeled bicycle, I really would like to be able to ride the trail.

That's great! No chance for a new walking trail here where I live, so I just took the same one as usual. It was very cold this morning, it felt like winter again. But as I was walking in the early afternoon, it got better and warmer, in the end I didn't need my jacket. It's wonderful to see the trees in bloom and to hear the birds singing again, finally!

keep up the walking its is great for you, im going to try and walk every day
this 10 minute route is perfect for me.. and most of the way it is side walk
until i get behind kroger then its parking lot. and then i hit the grass as i get closer to our sub division.. then side walks and back home.. i felt refreshed after wards and i need it for my health.. later i will take the dog for a small walk i dont want to over due her she is too over weight.. take care enjoy those walks..

Having a dog is anoter good reason to go for a walk. It's good for her health too
I really needed this walk today, because I had a headache, but it's gone now. I was afraid the streets would be full of drunk people because it's Easter Monday, but fortunately I didn't meet any.

That is wonderful that you have founda new walking trail! Is it a very scenic route and what kind of ground do you walk on? I ask because the more different kind of 'paths' that we walk the more we are able to get better exercise, and experience something new. So in a sense, we should all look for different paths with different surfaces to keep our bodies working on balancing and experiencing different environments!

The weather has been nice here too, but this week some storms are moving in. I really like to walk outdoors and do trail walks or runs. There is one not too far from my house that I have gone to several times, but it's been a long time since I got to. Thanks for reminding me I will go up there one day this week!

Glad you had a nice day and a nice walk. The weather here was good this morning but then it started to get cloudy in the afternoon and then some rainfall. It wasn't good for us because we wanted to ride on our longboard. Anyway, there's always tomorrow and i hope it's gonna be a sunny day.

This Spring, the weather has been awesome so far. It has been great to be able to go for some great walks the past month or so. I have really enjoyed the opportunity to spend a lot of time in the great outdoors. I live in an area where there are several walking trails and parks so I have a lot of options when it comes to taking an outdoor walk. I feel very lucky to have so many choices. Spring is definitely my favorite time of year and being able to take long outdoor walks is a large part of it.

that is great that you have a good place to walk, i grew up living in the country and we had no where to walk unless it was hill side or in the road which was dangerous so when i move to the city later on in life i find these sidewalk and walkimg trails to be so very nice and i love it and try to make good use of it, i love fall weather as well.. take care.
