We found a park that&#8217;s just down the road from our place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The park is small, and isn&#8217;t anything special, but it&#8217;s good to have a space near by. It&#8217;s behind an elementary school. You have to drive through the school&#8217;s parking lot to get to the park&#8217;s designated lot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The park has one large loop that goes in and around some trees, and through open green space too. I can do two loops in about 15-20 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Derek and I went once together, and then I went a second time on my own when Derek was at work, which leads me to a silly little story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Derek usually leaves for work around 2-3 p.m. I headed to the park at 2:30&#8230; and promptly got stuck in the parent pick up car line! There were two lines forming, and cars came in behind me, so I was unable to get turned around. So I sat. And I sat some more. Finally the kids came out at 3 p.m. Not being a parent, it had not occurred me that the school would let out at 3, and parents would line up so early at 2:30. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the key is to go to the park after 3! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/48829018996\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/48829018996_ecef37a7e4_c.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_9270\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/48829019446\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/48829019446_688e4ca668_c.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_9261\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/48828644228\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/48828644228_cc741db002_c.jpg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_9269\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/48829182217\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/48829182217_060629201f_c.jpg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_9268\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/48829019391\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/48829019391_7dc75b2351_c.jpg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_9263\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/48829182452\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/48829182452_f3ed6950e9_c.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_9266\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting outside for sunshine and fresh air is key for me to have a good day, and a good attitude.
