It was 31 degrees when I left the house at 7:30 for my walk. I was unprepared. Tuesday I wore a sweater to work and I was hot.
The volkssport walk in Langhorne began at 9. I hopped it would warm up by the time I got there. By the time I turned onto 413 I had the heater off in the car. Things were looking up.
I was supposed to do the registration table for the first hour and a half, but someone took my job. I headed out at 8:55. Langhorne is a borough, so it's not very big. It was a stagecoach stop on the road to Philadelphia, and hosted a military hospital during the Revolutionary War.
The start point was a historic farm house owned by the town and operated by the Open Space group. It's still a working farm and they also hold educational programs there. The last owners of the farm were murdered and the killer never caught.
I only wore a hoodies and I was fine. Except for my neck. I needed a scarf. I need to put both a scarf and gloves in the car. Especially until the weather stabilizes.
The walk was nice. It was mostly in town. There was a lot of historic buildings and some great 19th-century architecture. There was a small nature preserve. I even ran into a few people I knew.
When I returned to the start point, I took over at the registration table.
Miles/Steps: 5k
Weather: high 40s by the end of the walk, sunny
Wildlife: 5 doe crossing the road driving down Route 412
Bathrooms: I-5 at the start point and also at the public library
