8-26-10- Thursday - Hiking & Health

Today I went hiking at McConnell's Mill in PA.  Mia & a friend of hers took me on a small be challenging hike.  What I realized today on this walk, is I don't exercise enough.  Mia takes me on short walks most days but my little legs are so short I don't tend to go far. Not because I can't go further, but because I use this as an excuse to be lazy.

Mia likes to walk through the woods, and along nature paths.  So today at McConnell's Mill that's what we did.  I must admit I had fun, and really enjoyed climbing over logs and rocks to keep up.   Sometimes Mia takes a path I can not, so I either have to find another way around, or ask her to pick me up for a little while.

I also enjoy finding fun new spots.... Like this mill stone, there were several along the side of our path, so we stopped for some photos.  I can always fit in the tiniest of spaces. :)

As a dog, I think this is true of most dogs, I am a curious fellow, I do enjoy discovering new places and seeing "what's in there".

So I guess this is the attitude I might want to take on daily, for my exercising.  An attitude of curiosity, excitement and a since of adventure; even if it is "just a walk around the block".

How do you stay motivated to exercise?
