Today was what a spring day should be here in Indiana. Blue skies, light breeze, temps in the high 60's and here in farm country, the mixed aroma of freshly tilled earth, Round Up, and cow dung. I put a new seat on the wife's bicycle, cleaned it up a little and took it for a spin. Got my recommended 30 minutes of exercise for the day and logged my points in on the President's Challenge.
The President's Challenge is dedicated to getting all of us off our lazy backsides and doing a little something every day. You can track your activities and earn medals either solo or as part of a group. It keeps track of of everything you've done whether it's running, gardening or walking and assigns a point value that's roughly equivalent to calories burned. Makes for a nice training log. Currently there's a state challenge going on. Indiana is in 29th place, Alaska is number one and California is way down the list. Seems at first glance to show a definite correlation between climate and activity level. I urge all of you to check out the link and get outside. Trust me, it's good for the health and the soul.
