OK, it was pretty brief (a few times around the apartment complex), but at least I did it. I have been a bit on the lazy side recently, and need to get back into exercising. Wine and beer lifts do not count. Did you get some exercise in today?

Yes, I did. Thanks to this Florida winter, it's been a real challenge.

What's the weather like right now. Here it's sunny and cool. But I sense Spring in the air. Our seasons are a bit wacky in California.

@TheHorse In the mid to high 50's right now, with lows in the 30's. Today it appears to be overcast, and while my phone claims it's drizzling, it's not really.

14 000 steps + rode two horses. Some of those steps were on very slippery ice, so they count for two. Todays step will be in snow *stares out window* The weather forecast said rain, we're getting snow, which for January is quite OK.

@TheHorse Both, depends on the weather. This week is riding hall weather, next week looks better. Cold and sun, so then we go for rides or use the outside riding ground if the snow isn't too slippery. My horses love snow, so I hope for snow that's nice to run in.

Did you ride in an "inside" arena? Or out in the snow?

I was lazy all weekend and did not get much exercise in. But today I took the dog to the dog park and timed myself while I walked laps around the dog park for 30 minutes. I kept throwing the ball for Jenny my dog, and she would bring it back to me wherever I happened to be in my walk, and then I would throw it to her from the new spot. We both got our exercise in today!

@Kouponkaren I hope it becomes...or remains...a part of your "routine." I have to get back to hiking every weekend and cycling more often.

@TheHorse Yes, but now I have to keep it up every day this week. I think I can because the sun is supposed to be out every day.

We still have a couple of inches of snow on the ground, so we were careful outside when going to my husband's doctor's appointment. Not much exertion, lol.

I just can't make myself exercise 'just for the sake of it'. I love my bike but if I don't have to go out on it I have to think up some errand to make an excuse for a trip.
