8,796 steps today. Thank goodness I banked some from yesterday. I walked with a friend in the woods again tonight, and then I opted to pull weeds instead of walking after dinner. I'm listening to "Almost Sisters" by Joshilyn Jackson. she writes amazing books set in the South. Chick lit with lots of humor and some veiled commentary. This is one of her best.
I walked the outer path around the park. I completed two full loops around and managed 3.29 miles. I forgot my water in the car so I had to get it on the second loop. It really is a nice park with some shady areas.
Judycaret, cool that your construction is started now; how long do you expect it to take. What fun to have wine/cheese while looking out at the ocean; Perfect. Five miles is quite a few.
14,495 steps today. Mostly on an afternoon walk with DSIL. After supper we went to a county park. The trillium are at their peak. Mostly white. Occasionally pink. They carpet large areas and even up one hill (well, what's smaller than a hill? upgrade?). A few violets, phlox, and wild geraniums were sprinkled in. Just gorgeous. Next time we'll remember the insect repellent--ha! We chuckled at a young Amish man who was also "hiking." Barefoot. Not my tender toes on that gravel path.
judycaretI wound up taking 4 walks today: normal morning walk, 2 afternoon walks instead of 1 (to escape construction), additional short walk at neighbor's request. My phone recorded 24,000 steps. That's a record for me and I'm feeling it.
The groomer was here early this morning to take of the dog. Plus, the pool guy came at the same time since he couldn't come out on Friday due to the weather. I like to be available while the groomer is here so my walk had to wait until dog was done. I was worried since the temps today were heading to 90s and I don't handle heat well. So, I choose the neighborhood park since the trails are shaded on half of it. I managed 3 miles and decided to not try for a farther distance since it was warming quickly and two neighbors were burning on the upper and lower parts of the trail and the smoke was irritating my eyes.
Elaine, your flowers and community sound wonderful.
Construction started in my kitchen and master bath today. Demolition! Very cool. I walked 5 miles in the morning and another 1 mile in the afternoon. A neighbor came over to check progress and it turned into a wine (for her—I bought some for guests) and cheese (she went back to her place and got a delicious Manchengo (sp?) party. We sat on my balcony in my new chairs (cheap, DD assembled them for me), looked at the grand Pacific Ocean, and felt quite privileged.
I'm really pleased to have finally hit 5 miles again. I'd slowed down a bit and need to get back in the saddle.
Education is about the only thing lying around loose in the world, and it's about the only thing a person can have as much of as s/he's willing to haul away.
I need to find someone who is currently working as a general education teacher with at least three years experiences. The interview will be 10 questions in text and it is for my class.
