Exercise Resurgence

I can't say that I've been terribly virtuous on the food front - the three croissant for breakfast on Sunday, the Vietnamese dinner also on Sunday, and the fondue meal that is on the agenda for this evening, rather negate any feeble attempts to lessen the calorific intake by eating lettuce.

But I have been relatively, and surprisingly, virtuous on the exercise front. We have visitors at the moment - Hubby's aunt and brother - so you'd think that we'd not be exercising at all, but far from it. On Friday, we went for a walk at Sanborne Park in Saratoga (much complaining from the children), which was definitely uphill. Yesterday we were in Muir Woods, north of San Francisco. Unusually for us, we didn't stick with the flat, ashphalted path around the forest floor, but struck out up the Ocean View Trail, across the Lost Trail, and down the Fern Trail, a walk of about three miles and two hours. Then this morning we spent an hour walking at Arasteradero Preserve in Palo Alto.

The guests are looking a bit shell shocked, but we are all congratulating ourselves on how healthy we are.
