    A bit over 30 minutes in the airport....with a last minute stop for dinner Togo on the plane. Broiled salmon with broccoli doused in a pack of olive oil from my bag beats most airport options ( and it seems the broccoli stench kept other passengers from choosing the middle seat next to me. Exit row with an empty middle seat = Bonus!

    God only knows where the GPS in the fitbit (which said it was locked in) thought I went to burn 589 calories in 30 minutes. Ha.

    Hehehe Kim on the broccoli stench. So you're one of THOSE people on planes. LOL!!!!

    Good for you with the walking in the airport. I like your plan - no sitting while waiting for your flight. When I fly, I am usually so early that I have hours to burn. I could get miles in. Something to think about on my next trip (whenever that may be - I'm not a big flyer).

    You are all doing a fabulous job Jaunting! I took this morning off and instead opted for sleep and work. Perhaps some tonight if I don't get home too late. Jaunt on!

    I'm curious about the bubble hat too!

    Day7. Found out I can use the corporate fitness center here in Golden while I'm out here. Afterwards a bit over a mile in downtown Golden.

    Golden is such a great place!

    Kim, Golden is lovely. All of Colorado is lovely! I am surprised that there is not more snow. Every time I have been to CO in the winter there has been a ton of snow.

    I didn't do any miles this morning. Even the treadmill isn't inviting when the temp outside is 4 degrees as we don't heat the basement. Need to get past my dislike of the cold. It will be easier to do later in the day. Somehow waking up from my cozy bed and heading downstairs isn't appealing:)

    Kris I hear you on the cold basement. One of the reasons I can never make it down there in morning....and even have to force myself after work on those days. Brrrrr.

    -6 before windchill at home today. Not sorry to be missing. Kiddo had school. Hubby said ours only district in like three counties in session. He got a ride today. Not a stand on the corner and wait for the bus morning!

    Ok everybody, this girl jaunted today!!!! My stupid phone apparently doesn't like the cold so decided not to record the first half of my walk. Easy though, since all I did was turn around and walk back. Little under 3 miles in 7 degrees. I was shielded from most of the wind since the trail is shielded on both sides (for the most part) with trees and buildings. But it was still COLD!!!!! Two pairs of leggings, two pairs of sock, three layers of shirts and the jacket, two hats, a scarf and some gloves. Crazy!!!! But I needed to get caught up! Just under 14.5 completed so far.

    Jen, I love watching your jaunt vlogs! You are an inspiration indeed :) For the past couple of days it's felt like I had swallowed a handful of razor blades, so no jaunting for this girl :( Still a bit whoosey, but am going to do a mini-jaunt, just to get moving again. As they say: slow & steady wins the race ;) Hugs & cheers to all my fellow joyful jaunters out there.

    DebSue, I'm so glad you enjoy them. I needed to get back out regardless of how cold it was (and holy cow was it cold).

    So sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. Don't do too much if you're not up to it. Nobody here judges, that's for sure. Just finished chatting with Kris and she said we're a ragtag group of awesomeness. I LOVE THAT! :)

    (((HUGS))) to you, fellow joyful jaunter.

    Kris- lots of schools around home were closed yesterday too. Just not kiddos district.

    Jenn glad to see you out there. 3 miles in 7 degrees is tough.

    Get well DebSue.

    Day 9 of my jaunt was more like skiing. But a good 5 hours outside which was great! And lots of steps around the village. IMO every step while wearing ski boots should count double!

    Kim, hitting the slopes in style.
    Carol, a YouTuber has to have her toys. I look ridiculous using the GoPro but I don't care. I only saw one person yesterday.
