Beautiful Sunny Sunday Morning.

Good Morning/Afternoon.  Started my Bloomsday Doomsday Hill training.  We have a hill down by the Columbia River that is the length and grade of Pettit Drive in Spokane.  So I'm using it as my training.  Today was the first time I walked up it.  I was very proud of myself, I only had to stop twice to get my breath and when I got to the top I actually felt good, not exhausted.  Down and up was just over a mile and it took me 30 minutes to do.  It I had tried it last year, there would of been no way in hell I could of gotten up it.  So my walking and exercising is starting to really pay off.   So when I do the K-9 Canter 5k in Pullman in April I will be able to finish it. 

After I did the hill, I drove back into town and went down to the walking park and did two miles there.  The weather when I started at the hill was in the mid 30s and when I got to the park it was in the high 40s.  Just beautiful sun shine,  gorgeous views of the Columbia, can't ask for a better day. 

On another note, I have taken up a new hobby.  I have started knitting.  Not real good, just beginning.  Plus I have gone back to belly dancing.   I did this a few years ago when my daughter Nicole was dancing and really enjoyed it.  Then I got out of it for a few and just started back up.  I forgot how much fun it is and how good it feels to move your body with out restrictions.  It's very relaxing and it's great for your health.    You don't realize how much you use your muscles and how you move. 

Well I'm signing off for now.  Have a great day.

Wow it's been a few days since I last posted.  Well I hadn't alot to post.  My job hunting is going.  I have had a few interviews.  Hoping to find a job soon.  I've been walking to help keep my spirits up.  Went down to the park today with my friend Jessica.  Had a nice walk.  Walking by the river is very therapeutic for the soul.   And walking with a good friend helps also.     Next weekend my friend Dena will be here so lots of fun with good friends and some retail therapy next Saturday with my friend Sirena.  So all is good.
