Wake up 5:30am
Time to start the day with a lovely brisk walk along the rolling hills of beautiful Snohomish. The birds singing, a little bit of fog looming in the valley, sun rays peaking through. This is pure bliss.
I can hardly wait to move here and have this be my back yard and morning experience every day. Right now I live in my own little apartment, which I love, but the fresh air and happy bird songs swirling in the air make me feel right at home.
WORKOUT
This weekend, I stayed with Quinn's folks until this morning. Quinn decided to wake up early and go walking with me. We went around the "block" which makes 4 miles all together. It was lovely and didn't take us too long. I discovered that since running the 9 mile Hot Chocolate Run in Seattle about a month and a half ago, my right knee hasn't been the same ever since. Downhill walks or jogs make it ten times worse. Thankfully the exercises like yoga, Zumba, or any of the fantastic body weight exercises that we have yet to discover help with the strengthening of those knee muscles to prevent injuries in the future.
Here is a fantastic explanation of injuries related to running and how to prevent them!

YUM - this was cheating. Quinn and I went on a little date, but we tried to keep it as healthy as possible.
