LVDC AUGUST 2016 NEWSLETTER

Summer consists of Family vaca-

tions, City/County/Mid-State Fairs,

and longer days of daylight. These

events affect our routine amount of

exercise and eating habits. My July

two week summer vacation in the

Midwest (IN, IA, & WI) eliminated

my weekly runs. I did get daily

trampoline bouncing, backyard

swimming pool games, and hide &

seek chases with my 4 grandkids.

Also, a diet of Cocoa Puffs cereal,

Cheese Puffs chips, and doughnuts

was served.

So this month I’m looking forward

to getting back to my normal rou-

tine. I’ll be back out on the La Puri-

sima Mission trails on Saturday

mornings starting around 8 AM in

front of the Visitors’ Center. After

the run a visit to the doughnut shop

would be appropriate!

Happy Trails!
