Quick Update

Got two more hikes in:
#24: 9 km on Friday afternoon with Aisling
#25: 7.8 km with Stefaan on Sunday morning.

It's been absolutely gorgeous weather around here, bright and sunny, crisp and clear.  Perfect for walking.  I've also started a new Matt Roberts program at the gym.  I do love a good program!

Other than that, life is busy, what with my middle son, Gillis, just starting his first year in university.  They do grow up fast...

Recent Hikes (21, 22 & 23)


These pictures are from the hike around Averbode I did with Ingrid in June - it was such a beautiful day.  Too bad but it seems the summer weather is gone for good and we have entered fall now with its rain.  Since June, and since our trip to Sweden in August, I've gotten three more hikes in to bring my count up to 23 so far. 



 In August I met up with Leen, Jef, and their kids Lucas and Hannah for hike #21 in Bierbeek.  We did an enjoyable 9 km and treated ourselves to a beer afterwards.


 At the beginning of September, Ingid and I headed to Oud-Heverlee and the Dode Beemde for a section of this area we had never done before and hike #22.  We did 13.5 km in the rain!


 Finally, recently I had to take advantage of one of our last sunny weekdays and got out and hiked 5 km on my own in Kessel-Lo, bringing my hiking count up to 23, which I am pretty pleased with, and planning to get a few more in before the end of the year.
