My Outside Gym

Looking for me?
I've been down by the river...

This little oasis is about a mile away from our home.
Just a quick jog or a bike ride, and I'm here....
almost every day.

Here's another view from the path.

Gorgeous isn't it?
Yes, even in Illinois we have some beautiful places to go.....
A five mile loop, a little Pandora in my ear, and I feel like a new person....

p.s. It's Friday...down 2.4.....

  11. What beautiful photos! wish I could take a bike ride with you! I just became a follower. I am soooo sorry that I hadn't sooner! I really thought that I had. You were my 2nd follower after my daughter and I was in such a tizzy trying to figure out how in the heck does one start a blog that I overlooked following some of my new friends! I'm taking this weekend to double back on everyone and joining the sites that I missed. I hope you're having a good weekend. See ya next week...

  13. That is awesome, Julie!! I love it. I LOVE Illinois...I know some people wouldn't enjoy living here, but it's perfect for me. :) I wouldn't be opposed to living somewhere else, but...the cornfields make my heart happy. :)
