As you may notice, there are not a lot of “walks” on Outonawalk recently. Sadly, the weather has not permitted promising walking weather. However, in light of my sister taking our car this weekend, I had to rely on my feet to get me where I wanted to go.
Though the wind felt like it was freezing my eyes open, the view was beautiful! I got a new toy:
It’s a heart rate monitor watch! I initially got it to take my heart rate during workout videos (Netflix has a bunch of great ones on instant view!) But I have also liked having it when I go to the gym and the heart rate contraptions on the cardio machines don’t work. I got this baby at Staples of all places(it’s a Mio Drive Petite for anyone who is interested.) It even logs the calories your burn during an activity based on your heart rate. It’s been a great purchase!
It was a good two mile walk all together to the gym and back. More cold in the forecast!
Out on a Walk 
I had a dream a couple nights ago about cmu ‘s gym, only it was in grand rapids and I could still get in for free
Thats one luxury I shall miss in the “real world.”
I’ve been walking to and from campus all winter. This above freezing weather has been a real treat!
