Sunday’s are our usual days for a group walk. By group, that would be Ted, Shane and myself. It is typically a walk of 4 or more miles which will take us to the more scenic areas of Utica, whether we go right or left or straight from our home. One of our favorite walks is around Valley View Golf Course. Once there, we have the option of extending the distance and going through the Switchbacks (a very wooded area made walker/rider friendly by stone-dirt roads) or going up to the Eagle (the upper most point over looking Greater Utica).
On this particular Sunday, Ted wouldn’t go through the Switchbacks even though it wasn’t muggy so there would be no horse fly attacks (they get pretty bad in there sometimes 🙁 ), but he did want to walk up to the Eagle. It was a beautiful morning for it as well. I always think that I should bring my yoga mat because it is so peaceful and beautiful, I couldn’t think of a more relaxing place to practice some Asanas.
As we set out this particular morning, Shane needed something in his mouth..typical Shane…
Movie review:
State of Play with Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck…a really good movie. Not your typical story line. Both actors were spectacular. Worth the watching.
“Academy Award®-winner Russell Crowe leads an all-star cast including Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams & Helen Mirren in the blistering thriller about deception, manipulation & corruption. When D.C. Reporter Cal McCaffrey (Crowe) is assigned to investigate the murder of an assistant to an up-and-coming politician (Affleck), he uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to bring down the nation’s power structures. In a town of spin-doctors and wealthy power brokers, he will discover one truth: when fortunes are at stake, no one’s integrity, love or life is safe. From director Kevin Macdonald of The Last King of Scotland, State of Play brings together gripping performances, riveting suspense and is “sophisticated, intelligent and powerful”
That’s all for now… another weight work out tomorrow morning. I’ll be following day 3 of this schedule:
It should take no more than 30 minutes. We shall see.
[…] as intended, was “Day 3″ of the new program posted at the bottom of last nights blog HERE. It took me 30 minutes and was preceeded by a 3 mile run on the treadmill. After the weight […]
Looks like wonderful scenery to go running in Joanne. Shane looks so happy with his stick. 🙂
