Plodding along...

The weather went from Summer to Winter yesterday, It is a very welcome change, but it is a cold wet few days. All of last week was wet, lots of rain which is desperately  needed. I didn't go hiking though as I knew the trails would be a muddy, slick mess. I don't mind hiking in the rain, but not after days of 4 inch rainfall. It was nice staying inside. I wore my new warm sweats and fuzzy slippers and watched football all afternoon. I wasn't a total slug as I did do my workout in the morning and upped the number of steps on the stair stepper. 
Mentally I am hanging in there. Determined, but sometimes doubting my ability to pull it off. Some days feel like I'm not making any progress. I guess I really won't know though until I can get on some more challenging trails than what I currently can hike at Mother Neff Park. We have a holiday coming up Friday of next week so weather permitting I am going to Colorado Bend State Park  and hit some of the trails there. They have much longer more challenging trails than what I've been on. So I guess I will have to see how that goes. I'm debating if I should take one of my dogs with me. It could be a challenge for her too, but I would enjoy the company on the trail. I need to decide which trail I'll hike first, then I can decide if I think she would be good. The upcoming weekend has a great forecast so I will most likely hit the trails at Mother Neff. Hoping maybe some of the leaves will be getting some Autumn color by then. 
Well I've to get through this week at work first... plodding along as usual.
