Walking and Biking

I was blessed to have been able to take long walks around Seattle, Washington, with my son last weekend and also to ride bicycles with him around the campus of the University of Oregon, in Eugene, Oregon, that same weekend.  After sitting in a truck during a four plus hour drive from Seattle to the U of O it felt so great to get on a bike and start pumping my legs and deep breathing that cool crisp Oregon air.

My son and his wife rarely use a car to get around town.  Walking, biking and public transportation are their primary modes of travel.  Healthy and fun lifestyle choices.  I have to put more of those things into my life too.
