simple walk

Today we did what I call the Wegman's Walk. It's a simple walk that can be anywhere from 2-9 miles. It's relatively flat with just a few rolling hills. I used it a lot training for the 3-Day. It has 3 bathrooms,  a parking lot, and a grocery store to stock up on supplies when you run out. Since we are doing the difficult Bear Creek Volkssport walk tomorrow, today we wanted to keep it simple.

The basic route is a big square. We left Wegman's lot and headed down to Stokes Park Road. Headed out Stokes Park to Jacksonville. There were only 3 cows at Koehlers. Where have all the animals gone?

Then we headed out Jacksonville toward Advent church. At some point, my hand hit Lydia's and soon she said, "I'm bleeding!" My nail must have scraped her. It was my first, first aid stop in a long time. Thank goodness the hospitals give out purse size samples at race events. I had one in my backpack. After cleaning her boo-boo, we continued on.

Across from Advent is Hanover Elementary School. The lawn was lined with pinwheels. For the entire length of the property. They participated in Pinwheels for Peace on the 21st. I think every grade must have participated.  A few fell over, or came undone. Bonnie started fixing them. Lydia and I helped. We fixed all but two. The paper was laminated, so the rain right now should not destroy them.

The rest of the walk was uneventful. We turned right onto Crawford Drive and headed toward Wegman's. Then we decidedto add another mile, and took the loop thru the subdivision.

Afterwards, we took Adonis for his walk. Total mileage 4.5.

Yesterday, we walked with Betsy in her neighborhood. We went about 3 miles.

Tomorrow is the 10K at Bear Creek.
