With my iPod on and my pedometer set, I was ready!

I was heading toward St Vital Park which is a nearby park to my house and one I've spent a lot of time in during my life. As a kid playing in the big tunnels which are no longer there, as a teenager skipping math class after visiting Clancy's for a drink or two...(sorry Mr Pederson) and now as a Mom with my own kids watching my daughter do cross country races and playing with them at the new play structure equipment!


Note the large number of bags of leaves that *have* been dropped off at the Leave it with Us site. I won't say anymore. Really, I won't.
And while I love St Vital Park, I must admit, the scenery is just not quite as nice in the fall as it is in the summer when there is green galore.

+11 on Friday (+11 in November?? Oh my, who can believe it?), they must be getting ready to fly south soon!
After leaving the park, I headed south up to the Bishop Grandin Greenway portion that extends from River Road up to St Mary's. There were a few people sharing the walkway with me but not too many!

The weather never really improved but I was hot when I returned home to discover that I'd walked 5 kms in total in one hour and 15mins! I should mention that I did a few running jags too but those weren't too long. I need to work up to that!
