My Other Obsession

I didn't run today. Had an offer from a neighbor to go for a run 'early' which was 6:30. Sorry, just didn't feel like getting up that early today (it's a holiday and all). So we went out for a walk in the Forest of Bere. More than a walk really. The lovely wife had promised a picnic/Geocaching day out for Father's Day back in June. For those of you who don't live in England, I think this was one of the first really 'nice' days since Father's Day. So off we went.

After enjoying a simple but very nice picnic lunch (salami, cheese, bread, fruit). We were off on our walk. The day was absolutely perfect: sun shining, son shining, a gentle breeze, animals about. To top it off, we found the cache we were looking for (only minimal bushwhacking required and very little mud).

I can't really call it exercise. Although we were walking in the woods for a few hours, it was at a 3-year old's pace. (But it was better than sitting on the couch with a beer watching television.)
