Sometimes a long walk is all you need. Exploring the Aurora trails
Unlike Florida things here have hills. The powerline trail is great.
Saw the Prarie dogs
And ended the route with the geese

Some Aurora, CO Trail Exploration today
I am trying to explore the Aurora, CO trail network as a part of my fitness plan. I really need to loose about 20% of my weight, so the immediate goal is 10%, like 25 pounds. Not easy to do with my travel and all, but I think if I start watching my diet and continue my walking, I think I can safely do this.
Anyways, today’s walk started and ended out the house.

Cherry Creek Dam
Did a 4.58 mile walk/slow jog along the Cherry Creek Dam trail in Aurora, CO. I am trying to explore all of the town trails. Lake is frozen over with the ice expanding up over the rocks of the dam.
I want to do the full around the lake trail, but that may have to wait until a Spring weekend.

Good Morning
We are expecting snow and travel for me, so it may be a few days before I get back on the trails. I can’t take the chance of getting hurt. There are going to be some indoor workouts that I won’t post here because I can’t get good GPS tracks from indoor tracks and treadmills.
