What a sunny, call-free evening!

Well, I'm extremely happy to report that it's a beautiful, sunny night here in Calgary! Actually, it's quite cold, but the sun is shining and I'm not on call, so that makes the night beautiful. After what has felt like a ridiculously long and busy stretch on call, I get a break from after-hours call until some time next week, so I'm planning on getting lots of walking and other random exercising in. I might even go hill walking again Amy :o) For those who don't know, Cranston (the name of the community we live in here in Calgary) is located on a ridge, up above the Bow River and Fish Creek Park. It's actually quite high above Fish Creek Park and the river, and there is a path that takes you down to the river level and into the park. It truly is fabulous exercise to walk up and down that hill, and last summer our neighbor Amy convinced me that I should give up some extra sleep in the morning and go "hill walking" with her. Not a lot can get me out of bed at 5:30am, but knowing that my neighbor was also dragging her tired behind out of bed was enough to get me up and dressed and ready to take on the hill. I miss those walks this year with Amy and her family in Houston, but I've still managed to tackle the hill a few times since I started on my quest to get more exercise :) The only thing missing is Amy and her convincing me that just one more time up the hill is no big deal really..... :) Hope you're still enjoying your spin classes Amy, and here's to lots more sunny nights and enjoyable exercise!
