I had two different tracks identified for walking within the resort. The first one, which takes us around the perimeter of the sites, is .83 miles. The second, which takes us down to the boat launch and around the sail boat storage area, measures 1.00 mile exactly. Yesterday, we walked - fast pace - around both tracks. The time was just about a half hour which is pretty close to our treadmill time for almost the same distance. We plan to slightly modify the first one to measure 1 mile to equal the second one, and give us 2 miles to walk each time. The hope is that the walks will replace our trips we made last year to the fitness center to use the treadmill. There are advantages to using these measured tracks. The first one is that we get to look at different scenery versus looking out a window at the same spot all the time while on a treadmill. The second one is that we don't have to worry about all the machines being taken - we can always walk these tracks, anytime. We'll see how it works.
Not much else was done yesterday as we watched the weather channel a good portion of the morning. Patty is getting hammered by snow and frigid weather and she texted a couple photos of her front step:

and the boys shoveling the drive:
It's not our idea of a fun day and we feel bad that the temperatures are going to go even lower the next day or so. The twins already have the day off today from school, and Austin went back to WMU a day early to beat the snow. The good news is that eventually, it will become nice again.
It's back to work for Josie today and I'll just begin to gather stuff for tax season which is, once again, that time of the year...
