Today is the middle of my days off & I have managed to keep very busy. I joined a local gym here with plans to stay active over the long winter. I had a training session today with one of the Trainers there. She pushed me a bit so that I could see that I really was capable of more than I thought I was. It was a very good workout, I expect to be sore tomorrow.

I have been walking a lot these days, enjoying getting out & about. Not sure how I'll feel about it once the really cold weather with north winds & snow get here. Just thinking about it makes me shiver! Also brings back memories of the cold Frozen Arctic.

This picture is from Qikiqtarjuak on Baffin Island. I worked up there for 3 weeks last year. Very beautiful place. Mark, you could take some awesome pictures up there!

Another busy day planned for tomorrow, a little shopping. Time to get some ideas for Christmas. Also plan to get out my poles for some Nordic walking. That's a great exercise! Helps maintain a better posture while walking which is good for the abs & breathing.

Hope you are all well & keeping active!

Take Care & Keep Smiling!
