A cricket match is played between two teams of eleven players on an oval-shaped grass field. In the centre of the field is a strip of hardened turf 22 yards (20.12 m) long, called a cricket pitch. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to be doing a weighted walk around the oval shape of a cricket field, but that has been my Tuesday mornings (of late) in Richmond at Old Deer Park. Tuesday is the day we do barbells at BARCH Richmond: Our gym in the UK. The barbells are not great for this aging body, so I opt for the outdoor beauty of walking the park.
NUGGETS FROM DAD began in the fall of 2010 when our oldest daughter left for college. (Make it a Great Monday; Stay Whole Tuesday; Woman Power Wednesday; Make Anything Thursday; and Fit as a Fiddle Friday.) Fourteen years later, we have a UGA grad, a SCAD grad, a Fightin' Texas Aggie grad, and 1500 nuggets!
