The Morning Edition crew is taking up David Suzuki's 30x30 challenge. The idea is to spend 30 minutes in nature each day for 30 days starting on May 1st.
Read our "deep thoughts" on the challenge. Email and tell us about your challenge.

]]> DAY 1:
I just found out I can't spend the time talking on my cellphone, using the internet or listening to music. This will be harder than planned. Plus, it's colder in Regina that it is in Iqaluit right now! - Abby

Day 2:
After a busy show, stepped out with Ms. Coles and walked to the nearby grocery store to pick up some things for a CBC potluck. It was great to get out of the stale newsroom and into a crisp May morning. But what stood out to me was all the construction happening. Bird sounds were drowned out by Jackhammers! Are you sure David we can't use our I-Pods? - Eric

Day 3-6: 30 x Toronto 30

I was in Toronto from Friday to Monday visiting my sister and we sure enjoyed a warm mother nature. We spent Friday at Niagara Falls, which were just incredible to see close-up. It was also incredible to sit on grass for the first time in 7 months. The next 3 days we spent biking in Toronto. I've always walked or used the subway to get around the city, but Toronto is really friendly for bikers. A great, fast way to see the city and get some exercise. Also a fast way to get a wicked sunburn! - Eric

DAY 7: 30 x SPF 30
They call him Eric the Red for a reason. - Abby

Ran around Wascana Lake this morning, finally
feeling warm sun on my face. Getting ready for tons of walking every day
in NYC, although may not hear many nature sounds! -Sheila

Day 13: Rabbits and Outdoor Meetings

Trust us, we've all been spending time outdoors this past week! So busy, in fact, we've neglected the blog. Today, we had our story meeting outside for the first time in over 7 months. The warm rays really got the creative juices flowing. Plus, we were joined by our new intern Julia and a bunny! That's a good day in nature. - Eric
