Where Has the Time Gone?
I was looking at the date of my last blog and realized that almost three months have gone by. That is a quarter of a year! It isn’t like I haven’t thought of topics to share as I have put many photos in a special folder on my Nook called ‘Blog Photos’. So I think it’s time to look at those photos and make an entry or two.
A Nice Rest Stop on the Three Creeks Trail
On Monday, Jeff H. leads a gentle ride on the Alum Creek Three Creeks Trail. The major purpose is to ride for coffee and bagels and talk about current events or any other interesting topic. We are a diverse group, so we are avoiding talking politics as we have both Romney and Obama supporters in our group. On one of our hot rides in July, we stopped at this covered rest stop that is located by an old homestead. We have noticed that more benches (with backs on them) have been installed along this multi-purpose trail.
Those pink guys at the Columbus Zoo
Ohio Health, who is a big sponsor of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, started up a monthly program called “HooFit”. Once a month they have a walk with a Zoo naturalist and a Doctor and walk around the park and talk about various animals and topics. It is not a long walk, but does get you motivated to walk more after the scheduled walk. Since I’m from the Cleveland area, here are my flamingo friends. The plastic ones are found on Parma lawns.
Dr. Merryman shares Heart Healthy tips
This month’s Doctor was a Cardiologist. Dr. Merryman shared many tips. When we returned to the pond area, he encouraged us all to walk around the pond with him to get more activity. Two young boys decided to be first and run around the pond.
Link to the HooFit program. There is a similar program called ‘Walk with a Doc’. This is a nationwide program where you can walk with a Doctor at various locations. I have done this once and hope to do it more this fall. Walk With A Doc Website
