Thanks for the challenge Auna37! I am starting some laundry, but will most likely head out somewhere with my husband. I hope to walk on the old railroad trail, before the day is over. Hope that you all have a nice Saturday!

My son is graduating with his bachelor's degree and we are having a big party tonight. I'll be busy all day with preparations.

I mistakenly posted under the wrong day - this post was meant for Saturday May 21:

Earlier this week I 'put the bug' in a friend's ear, mentioning that the lilacs should be in bloom at the local garden area and we should visit. Because her schedule varies every day, I told her to let me know - but not having heard back, I figured I may not be going there this weekend. However she texted me before 8 this AM, wanting to go today. So we did.
The lilac gardens are attached to hiking trails, so we just kept going, and in the end put in 5 miles hiking. Including up and down many steep hills. On some I was huffing and puffing, but in the end the hill climbing was really bothering my back, so I am glad that we got back to the starting point when we did. It was a really good outing - and hopefully the first of many.

My steps for this day is the highest I have measured - 12,547 steps (I have been working on getting above 5000).

Spent the day working in the restaurant but then went home and super cleaned by entire apartment. Also had the most steps in one day since I last climbed a mountain: 19,700 (8.8 miles)

Did more spring cleaning.
