Morning Walk to the Park

Well, more than two weeks ago I posted that I was very sick.  As of today I still haven't completely recovered, but I am feeling much better.  My only remaining ailments are a persistent cough and some lower back pain that has been plaguing me the past week.  I'm hoping that soon goes away.

I haven't done any sort of exercise for the last three weeks.  My last workout was on Labor Day; my sickness came in the middle of the night that night.  This morning I was feeling up for a leisurely walk, so the girls and I walked down to the park while Charles was still sleeping.

As we arrived at the park entrance, Hannah took a spill off the scooter.  It is downhill into the park, and she had taken on more speed than she could control.

She scraped up her knees quite a bit but was very brave.  I asked if she wanted to head home or stay at the park for a bit first, and she was up for staying.  So the girls played on the playground for awhile and then we took a walk around the half-mile park loop before heading home.

It felt good to get out in the crisp morning air and get a bit of exercise, and I enjoyed doing it with my girls.

Many other events have occurred while I've been sick, including Hannah's birthday party.  I plan to update these on the blog over the next few days.
