boxing day walk and update

I will readily admit I had no idea what Boxing Day was, until I looked it up. I just thought it made  a clever title. Either that or parent's anniversary. So today we'll pretend we're British.

I had planned on walking by myself today, as I do most days, then Bonnie and I were to go visit a friend who is recovering from an accident. She is living my worse fear—pedestrian walking the dog, run over by someone not paying attention. Her 'hood doesn't have sidewalks. Dog didn't make it. She's got pins and plates and things in her leg. I guess since lots of people had off for "Christmas" her 'dance card' was full. We'll go another day. So we decided to go to the Upper Saucon Rail Trail. This one connects with the Hellertown one, which will connect to the Bethlehem one, eventually.

It's a nice trail, part of it was paved, but not much. We walked for 25 minutes one direction, discovered this great tree house, turned around and came back. All in all it was about three miles.

I loved the sign "No Winter Maintenance". I guess that means it's not plowed. Good thing if you are going to use it to cross country ski or snowshoe!

I'm on week 10 of my program. Haven't said much about it because I can't. It wraps up mid-January. They are trying to get the group to walk in the Peeps 5K. I'm already signed up for it, so maybe I'll meet them there. My walking scoobies will all be coming also. This is also the beginning of Lyd's 500 mile challenge for 2012.

Bethlehem to Bethlehem Challenge is over. Three of my sheets never arrived. They have me walking 210 miles. (Doing Lyds 500 mile challenge will be a piece of cake!) And Sharon at 175 with four missing. (She said she mailed them in). Dave and Barb  came in at 176.5 and 170.  All in all our family "walked" 733.5 miles in the challenge. Last I heard we were stuck hanging 2000 miles away. That's a lot of deep water treading. Hopefully all the missing logs arrived and were at least stuck in Jersey! I checked the churches website and the FB page but saw nothing.

If I decide to do the Princeton 10k Volkssport walk on New Years, it looks like I'll be doing it alone. Haven't decided yet.
