First walk of the year Surprisingly, today it was sunny, so I went out to the nearby park. The air was fresh but not too cold. I forgot my hat at home, but I didn't freeze. The snow has mostly melted, and there were patches of muddy areas with dead leaves, thankfully frozen. They had a beautiful frost covering which the sun had slightly molten here and there.

Going around the city ~ My Actifit Report Card I was quite lazy on Sunday, so I decided to make up for it on Monday. Work took me to the city centre, so I took a walk to see how it looks like after the holidays. Well, I wasn't super surprised to see that all decorations are still up. I'm not the only lazy person around who hasn't put away the Christmas tree. So far, I have taken 1/4 walks, three more to go before the week ends. Sounds doable. Today was a failure, though.…
