Kate Salvatore 4/16/2021 6:22 AMI really enjoy being able to get out and just walk and enjoy my surroundings. It can be really energizing.-
Kate Salvatore 4/19/2021 6:43 AMI still have a couple months before I can get back on my bike but looking forward to it. Shoulder surgery in Jan has me sidelined from it for a while yet. -
Elise Amel 4/16/2021 8:56 PMAgreed! I love biking too because I can enjoy all of my senses and go more places a bit faster! -
Hugh Smeltekop 4/16/2021 11:42 AMSo true! Just getting outside and walking sounds like work when you feel exhausted from life (there are so many things right now that exhaust us!), but getting outside to walk _gives_ me extra energy :)

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Whole Food LifestyleMichael Pollan states that “it is better to pay the grocer (our edit: or the farmer!) than the doctor.” What are your thoughts on this assertion?
Kate Salvatore 4/13/2021 12:48 PMI agree, I would rather buy healthier groceries than pay more doctor bills. That's one of my goals with my current eating plan and it seems to be working. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Go for a Daily WalkHow do you experience your neighborhood or city differently when walking instead of driving?
Kate Salvatore 4/13/2021 12:14 PMMy walk today was around our campus during a brief dry period. I usually enjoy walking around the neighborhood and down by the river when the weather is nicer...
