3 new calves this morning! These cold weather fronts sure do send the girls into labor. That makes 6 on the ground this week and technically none of them are due for another 4 days.

Down another half pound from the vacation debacle. Time to re-energize and refocus. I refuse to let a bump in the road throw me off course. All the rest of the week went well. I am on target for walking 35 miles this week. Only 3 miles to do today to hit my goal. I even have the potential to do more than 35 if I get myself up and moving this morning.

The pups and I went walking on the trail yesterday evening. It was brisk but not unbearable. It was the first walk up there of the season. We only did two miles but mostly because I had to move several tree limbs and that took more of my time than I had planned. There were a few that I was not able to move on my own but we were able to go over them so it wasn't a big deal. It will be a big deal for those wanting to bike though. I'll bet there will be some spring cleaning on the trails soon.

Speaking of bikes, I have been thinking about getting myself a bike. There are a few considerations though. I have a really bad back so I am not able to get a normal bike that has you lean forward. I need to find something that I can sit upright and not strain or stress my lower back. I may have to post on the forum about this and get some suggestions.

Today I am especially thankful for:
* healthy new calves
* hot coffee on a cold morning
* no aches and pains- thank you God!
* perseverance and the chance to start over even if I goof up
