Let’s Take it Outside

We’ve had a lovely fall weekend here in Missouri, so I decided to walk outside.  Turns out, I’ve been leading a rather pampered existence indoors on my treadmill.  Somehow walking outside around my neighborhood was twice as exhausting as inside on the treadmill! I think several factors come into play here.  One, I generally walk indoors in…

PJF Trail for Life
