Ok, so I'm trying to restart this blog. For all you dedicated readers out there!! (mom, sisters....maybe one friend...). I'm going to start out with a challenge per week for me. And that will then lead to at least one post per week. I could fail terribly at this...or perhaps I will be successful. Only time will tell.
So, the challenge for today was to take the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful fall day that was today! So after spending my morning saying good-bye to one husband that had to go to work, and a houseguest that stayed for the weekend, I decided I would go for a bike ride. Needless to say, I have NOT been on my bike for probably 2 months now. Yes, that is pathetic. Plus I'm still getting over a horrible cold and am currently having plegm issues. So, with camera in hand, I took off to T-Park. I decided I would take the more difficult but much more beautiful way to the park. Unfortuneatly by making that decision I also took a horrendous crash down a somewhat steep incline right in front of 2 dudes. One which just crashed only moments before in basically the same area where I had just landed. I think I must of slid about 20 feet, on my back, headfirst, without my bike. So after I brushed off my embarrassment and all the prickles that I landed in, I carried on in good ol' stoic fashion, and really enjoyed the fall colours and the warmth of the sun. Of course because I am soooo out of shape, and having phlegm issues, I had to stop several times to recover from exertion, wheezing and snorting. So in the end I did complete my challenge, got some fresh air, and got a couple of good pictures!

Whoa....that hadta hurt! But the day looked beautiful....good stuff
Hey man, you beat me back to the blog! I was going to put an entry in today (honest!).
I think this whole challenge thing is a capital idea. In fact, immediately after reading your entry, I walked down to the Quay and back. I know it's not terribly adventurous, but consider that it was 3 pm at the time. So thanks for the nudge . . . I've been entirely too sedentary lately. I got the exercise, and I sort of got to enjoy the fall weather. Nice fall weather here equates to rain not falling down sideways. It isn't sunny, but at least it's not raining rhinos and caribou. Oh, I also did not partake in a spectacular wipeout down the hill. Was that a requirement? How many cuts and bruises did you incur in your crash? Please be careful out there, dearest!
So if you continue to challenge yourself and write about it in your blog, I promise to partake in the challenges too, to the best of my ability. Sound good?
Ok, I totally think you should partake in the challenge. In fact, if you do partake in the challenge, you should make a quick blurb about it on YOUR blog!!!! How much fun is that? And if you have a challenge to offer.....BRING IT ON BABY!!!!!
