Spring in2it! Week 4

The weeks are going quickly and here we are almost half way through the 10 week challenge. I had Week 4 off work, Annual Leave. The first few days were spent catching up with household chores that are neglected when working fulltime. You know, the spring cleaning stuff: washing curtains, windows, cleaning out wardrobes, drawers, tossing out clothes that no longer fit (!!).... Eventually, we (that is, my husband John & I) headed off to Alexandra on Wednesday 30 September. I have a caravan at the Alexandra Holiday Park. We quickly unpacked and hopped on our bikes & rode along the rail trail to Clyde. That is only about 11km from the Camping Ground so it is an easy bike ride. On Thursday we had a longer bike ride - the weather was perfect for cycling - again along the rail trail. This time we rode to Chatto Creek which is approx. 17kms from the camping ground. It was such a magic day -snow on the mountains, blue sky, everything looking lush & green, birds singing - I smiled all the way along the trail! We stopped at the Chatto Creek tavern for a toasted sandwich - and a cold lager! Does that count towards my fluid intake??? Down hill all the way back to Alex.

Managed to fit in a couple of short walks over the next couple of days so hopefully this will have helped. Have come back to work feeling refreshed, batteries charged and with a desire to make a greater effort to have a 30 minute walk each day. We'll see what happens!
