Ben Rousseau 10/24/2017 10:22 AMI have been appreciating the 10 minutes outside challenge. Just having that reminder to prioritize this is giving me the push that I need to get out. Skipping rocks at Milwaukie Bay is my new favorite thing to do. The 10 minutes turned into an hour or more on Sunday.
I also got in a bike ride and long walk in the downpour on Saturday! -
Ben Rousseau 10/24/2017 10:10 AMAlthough I've been working on this one for years, I still struggle with biking to work everyday. Appointments, a cold, and heavy rain have all gotten in my way over the past 2 weeks. At some point I want to commit to riding no matter what.
I did get a beautiful ride in today, though! -

Ben Rousseau 10/12/2017 7:30 PMI found the perfect spot to tune out and enjoy a little time outside. Milwaukie Bay Riverfront Park is less than a mile from home, but I don't get down there often enough. Thank you EcoChallenge for getting me to stop what I was doing and get outside!
