Back from Tucson and Breckenridge!!

Six weeks at La Paloma in Tucson, bookended with snowshoeing in Breckenridge, made for a fun and very sunny winter:):):)  The hard part was coming back to cloudy weather, cold and even a little snow.  The KS winds are always tricky when planning bike rides and have required some indoor spinning classes.  I am now back with the trainer three times a week.  For the first time I am sore today!!!  Even though I have worked out some on my own, it seems impossible to push myself as much as the trainer does!!  I am walking the Shawnee Mission hills, 4.5 miles, twice a week with six lbs in the backpack and ready to take it to eight lbs. My goal by June 10th is to be able to walk nine miles at Shawnee Mission Park with 10-15 lb backpack weight.  Thank goodness for my walking and biking partner, Barb.  It is so helpful to have a support system as there are days you want to stay in bed when it is cloudy and cold??!!  It was quite easy in Tucson when the sun was shining every day!!!
