Happy Friday everyone! I hope that everyone had a wonderful week and will have an even more wonderful weekend!

Today I'm participating in Jill Conyer's Fitness Friday!

PictureOur favorite spot to stop for lunch!
One of my favorite things to do (also seen in my loves post yesterday) is head to one of the state parks in my area to bike and hang out for the day. This is Tyler State Park and that's my friend Brian hanging out on the dam. We usually stop here (because it's gorgeous!) to eat lunch and cool off a bit.

I love the atmosphere of being around all the other people at the park who enjoy fitness. The trails are full of bikers, hikers, horse-back riders (we got stuck behind some last time!), runners, and power-walkers; the river is filled with kayakers and canoers; and the fields are full of baseball players and disc golfers. Being at the park, and receiving all of the friendly smiles and waves from others on the trails is so enjoyable that I sometimes I forget that I'm even exercising.
Usually, we bike around 10 miles, and have, so far, taken a different route each time (we haven't even covered the whole park yet!) That being said, I'm sure there will be many park pictures to come in future blog posts!

Enjoy your Friday! Cheers to the fiture!
Do you prefer working out indoors or outdoors?
Do you have any local parks around you? If so, do you ever bring your workouts there?
What's your favorite way to get in some cardio?

Welcome to Fitness, Health and Happiness and Fitness Friday! What a beautiful park. As much as I love my workout room I love being outside even more. Trail runs are my favorite.
