almost six miles

Today we walked with Michelle and some others from the Walk You Butt Off group. We did the Upper Saucon rail trail and part of the Lower Saucon trail.

It's a rail trail so it's relatively flat,  and gravel. Rich people houses and yards on either side. A few street crossings.

It was hot and humid. I hear it's going to get worse. Right now, I really need a shower. I bet I sweated off three of four calories! Which we put right back on at the Coopersburg Diner. We both had omelets with spinach, feta and tomatoes. Then we crossed the street and went to the Coopersburg Farm market. All before 10 am!

One of the things we talked about was the Atlantic City Half. Michele says the second half is all boardwalk, and there is one hill where they close the highway and you go up the exit ramp. It's in the beginning. When I got home I signed up.

My niece who owns the Pole Dancing Fitness Studio is participating in a Slut Walk today. In stilettos. It's only a mile. If she doesn't kill her self doing it, I've asked her to guest blog. It's for rape awareness. The name is derived from the idiom that women dress like sluts and are "asking" for it. From the pixs I've seen on the net people at this walk dress the extremes—Fredricks of Hollywood to regular walking clothes. I hope she says yes. And posts pixs!

It started in Toronto and has been spreading across the US. If it comes to Philly, count my fat but in.

Found the Slut Walk Philly page on FB. No date set yet. I did not click the "like" button. I can't imagine what kin of lists the web crawlers would put me on. I book marked it.
