Going on walks in the mountains to me is one of the best things out there.
I get injured a lot though. Uncooperating knees and whatnot. So now, I build up to longer hile more consciously. It takes me a couple of days and I am okay with that. I don't have to run a marathon right out of the gate.

In this pic is my neighbor and friend, who actually has run a marathon and is much faster on mountain trails than I am. Yet she still chooses to come on walks with me. We each walk at our own pace and she waits up for me at intersections. I love her for it. I don't have to pretend to be anyone I am not and I get to sneak a peek at how she picks her steps and learn something from it.

We both love photography, so we'll take longer on most walks because we stop and take pictures and we actually get to have pictures of ourselves on walks.

You can tell whose pace Rusty prefers... Right on her heels like a true blue heeler.

Here's another thing. My neighbor isn't a big fan of dogs. As a triathlete, she's been bitten by dogs both whilst running and biking, and yet she always assumes I am bringing Rusty and accommodates for him.

Nature and friends who'll accept you for who you are. Two pretty powerful things.

Who would like free life coaching on a topic of their choice?

Apparently this is my flying face when I don’t know someone’s taking my picture. Or maybe I was about to call the tower on the radio and that’s why I look funny?

It was a lovely flight with a colleague and the first time flying over the European Patent Office (➡️➡️) since there’s water in the building’s pond. Too bad no flags were flying.

A visit to Holland’s most famous windmills at Kinderdijk (➡️) and a greased landing (➡️)at EHRD.

Thanks K for the fun day!

➡️Rusty was just happy to have me back and get his cuddles.
