No surprise here, I’m pretty sure ‘Tan’ has never been a descriptor for a Nichols girl. I shouldn’t say that, Kim can get pretty bronzed, while I remain pastey white pretty much all the time. Well, not TOO much news to report, just that we are still walking it out! It’s cold here in Chicagoland, so for me, that means hitting the treadmill in Morand Gym. I can’t wait until I can actually walk around the neighborhood or meet up with Kim and other friends to walk even longer distances at the forest preserve or something. But, in the meantime, the trusty treadmill and TV will have to do. Thanks to my training, I did get to finally catch a few glimpses of Jersey Shore (Leo will not be pleased that I am admitting this one bit!) and I all I have to say is….wow. WOW. I don’t have the GTL totally down, but I can say I have MGL…Morand Gym & Laundry. Mainly because the treadmill and other workout stuff is right next to our washer and dryer in the basement: I might as well multi-task, right?!
Here’s a pic of me on a 4 mile walk this past Saturday (glamorous, I know):
Speed walking...nice form, huh?!
Getting ready to head to the basement
Kim and I are having a blast gearing up….long walks won’t come for a few months, but at least we are starting somewhere. Kim has an exciting weekend planned with Mark: closet renovation, woohoo! And I am heading to DC tomorrow with Katie for a girls weekend to visit Patty, super fun! So, the Nichols girls may not be walking all that much this weekend, but we’ll be back at it next week for sure. Thank you to all of our friends and family who have made donations so far or are planning to in the future! We really appreciate your support! And don’t forget, we are always looking for walking buddies!!
Happy Weekend!
