Have you gotten out to enjoy the weather today?
Here in Minnesota, we shouldn’t take for granted these precious days of sun and ice-free noses.
Today, I kicked myself out of the house and into the fall breeze of the late afternoon. I went on what I call a walk/jog… and it was wonderful, the leaves were chasing me. 
Even though cardiovascular-based exercise is not my strength (I would much rather be in my living room doing pushups and squats), I was reminded how much a little time outside lifts my perspective on life.
It is so easy to skip the very things that we need.
With that in mind, I make it a priority to get outside and enjoy the fresh air every day – even if it’s only for a few minutes.
After all, we were made for the outdoors!
In addition to my indoor exercise, I know I need to be getting outside every week for exercise – even through the coming winter. Grr! I am bummed and excited at the same time – I know God is telling me it’s what’s best for me… but it’s going to be cold out there!
So, now I have made my commitment public – and I have you to hold me accountable, one winter at a time.
Now to go shopping for some snow boots.

Boots.
Ahhh yes!! That is one thing I want to do more of. You really do have to “Kick yourself out of the house” haha
But it’s always worth it! And since winter takes up 5 months of the year, we should really stop using that as an excuse like it doesn’t happen every year. So, with that being said, I’m up for the challenge also! Once a week outdoors. Let’s do this!!
