Heart Walk

Some pictures from the Heart Walk last Saturday:

Half of American adults will die from heart disease? Half? After I thought about that for a minute...and all the conditions that fall under the umbrella "heart disease"...it wasn't hard to believe. I think every older adult in my family has some cardiovascular problem, which is why I'm out walking.

The American Heart Association web page has quite a lot of useful information, like how to recognize signs of stroke or heart attack, calculators to identify your heart disease risk, where to go for CPR training...and recipes, lots of recipes.

Saturday was a two-fleece morning.

A good crowd of walkers, many from workplace or family teams.

The lake isn't quite as picturesque now that most of the leaves have fallen.

But the geese are still here. I don't think these geese actually migrate...this is far enough south for them. I will have to check on them when it snows.
