where and when i'm walking in may

This is the email I sent out yesterday. Anything in italics I added for clarity—

Cut out races and the calendar gets empty!

First up: Tail on the Trail starts a new challenge today and runs thru Nov. 1 the day of the Half Marathon. I think it's fun to track, and you get lame prizes. And it's free. Plus you can registered the kids! http://tailonthetrail.org/

(The half is open to walkers. And registration is open. Sorry, not in my budget. But I'd be happy to train with you.)

Tomorrow, May 2 South Bethlehem Volkssport Walk. Meet at Comfort Suites (3rd & Brodhead) at 10am

May 3, IRT, 9 am. Meet at trail head in Coplay by the kilns. So far I've only heard from Lydia. She is going.




Notice there is nothing for the 9th-10th. I promised to take Pat to the Central Church plant sale Saturday morning so I'll have to walk in the afternoon. I'm thinking about this new to me place in Forks—Gollub Park. Angel was shocked I didn't know about it. "It's about 1/3 mile from the parking lot to the trail and maybe a 1/2 mile from the trail to the lookout. It can be tricky, very rocky and narrow and natural, ie no railings to keep you from falling over the cliff."

The 10th is Mother's Day. For people with Mothers it's a holy day of obligation. Not sure where I'm walking yet. But I will be walking.

May 16 **FITNESS ADVENTURE** The Ackerman-Parrys and I are finally going to the Sky Zone in Oaks. Yep, a trampoline. You need to reserve ahead of time. And do a waiver. The whole day is still open. I did our reservations today for 11:45 am. And chose the 1 hour jump package. ($16) (The 1/2 hour is $12) We must arrive at 10:45. Tailgate potluck lunch afterwards.

May 17. Nothing planned yet. I'm trying to only have organized things 1 day a weekend. Giving a little room for spontaneity. Megan and the baby won't come to Sunday events because of swim lessons. So these events can be more rustic.

May 21-22 or 24 I'm going to plan a walking adventure. Not sure what it is yet. Will let you know.

May 25 Memorial Day. Walk south Bethlehem and check out the newly opened (if everything goes according to plan) Hoover Mason Trestle elevated walking path. Yeah, too cool, right? Since it's a holiday should we do 10 am? With a lunch picnic at my house afterwards maybe. Kosher dogs and some simple healthier salads? Because of my current job situation I will be suggesting pot luck lunches, picnics, brown bags a lot.

May 28-31 I'll be walking in Canada. I have a seat up for grabs. Vacay days fell thru. You need vacation days and a passport. This is a bus trip with seasoned walkers, who can easily walk circles around all of us. I can only hope that when I'm their age ...

As always, if you ever want off the list. Just let me know.
