On my quest to stay active during Thanksgiving, I had planned on doing some walking and hiking.
Thanksgiving day I went on a good hour walk in the late afternoon to burn off the calories from Thanksgiving dinner. 9134 steps
Friday I took down all the Thanksgiving decorations and put up all the Christmas decoration. It kept me active all day long and I ended up with 9283K steps.
Thanksgiving day I received a message from Kathy asking if I'd like to get together Saturday morning to do a trail called the Rabbit Run. Located at Eagle State Park 11800 N Horseshoe Bend Rd Eagle, ID 83714
Here is our messages to each other via facebook:
Sondra: A run? Ummm. I don't run.
Kathy: Barb is going so it is probably a walk. Rabbit Run is the name of the trail.
Kathy: Really I think we are planning on walking it.
Kathy: We plan on walking Rabbit run trail and the junk yard trail the two together equal 5 miles.
Sondra: Yes, I think I'd like to join in, so plan on me being there. If by chance I can't I'll send you a text.
Kathy: great
Kathy was able to round up a few extra people to join in. I absolutely love meeting all these new people and being active.
I asked Brady if he'd like to join the walk and he decided to come along for all the fun.

I love the "before photo" before I'm all sweaty.
Nancy and Kathy did a running 5K practise before this trail. They are machines!

I had never been on this trail before. I love getting to know all these new places in the area.
I love the we stop now and then to catch our breath.
It was a nice November morning. I am enjoying not having snow and frosty weather.
It was also nice that the trail wasn't wet and muddy.
I was sweating and had to take off my jacket - that is how nice of a November day it was.
The trail wasn't too steep, but it did go up hill. It is good for me to have an incline, but I do lose my breath quite easily going up hill. Great conditioning on my quest to get fit.
I'm also pretty proud to say that I did run quite a few times.
Brady was SHOCK and proud that I can run/jog now. I've been working really hard this year to get in shape. It's nice to see that I am increasing my endurance.
Another group shot and no more beautiful hair - ha ha ha. I'm all sweaty.

I have to say that Nancy is a machine. She is a fast runner and had to keep waiting for us. She is also 72 years old!! WOW! I want to be running and looking so young when I am 72. I'm so impressed and motivated just by meeting her.
Brady took this picture so Kathy could join in the group shot.
I love going on these walks!
I love that I was able to run today!
I love meeting all these new people every time I join in.
It's a great group to associate with.
It is also very motivating to live an active lifestyle.
I am also very thankful that Brady was able to be here and go with me!!
