wind in our face

I'm making sure I post today so Lyd doesn't hollar at me again!

Today we gathered at my house to walk at 10ish. Adonis stayed with Pat and Sharon. We headed up my street and out Sioux, then crossed Wyandotte and up the Eighth street hill into Lehigh's campus. Lyd was none to happy with me.

Then we wove thru campus, and went out Fifth to Hayes. All this time the wind was beating on our backs. When we reached the Greenway and headed west the wind acted like resistance. It was very cold. So we moved up to Fourth, so the buildings broke the wind a little. My original plan was to go down to third and up the hill and out Delaware so the walk would be four plus miles. Instead we headed straight, more or less,  home. Total was 3.3 miles.

I think our pace was pretty good for the first half. We mostly stayed together. It took about 70 minutes if you minus off the potty stop at Wendy's.


We took a couple of pixs on the Greenway. My camera battery was dead, so Lyd took them on her phone. We're all wearing our hats Barb made us.

We got home, rested a bit and Bonnie was headed to Bottom Dollar in the car. Lyd and Adonis also left. Sharon and I hopped into Bonnie's car and went to B$ too. Sharon got the groceries she needed and we wove our way home. I added another 30 minutes to my walking. My Idita Walk total is now 562. I'm half way done. Hopefully If I get 5 hour walks in this week, I'll be done next week this time.

Then I'll wait for the others to arrive. Unsure if Megan will beat me to the finish.
