Day 39 Teijuania and I went on a memory lane walk for 3.75 miles in Big Creek Reservation. She and I years ago used to walk five to eight miles a week in one day regularly. We were in the parks and in the malls when the weather was bad. Our pace was swift. MyContinue reading “Memories”

Day 38 Last Wednesday God Laughed when Sonia and I walked at North Chagrin Reservation. Due to my watch and a false reading our mileage was not correct. So, today she and I walked the same exact route with it’s twists and turns to find out what our actual mileage was. From our calculations itContinue reading “Repeat”

Day 37 Anytime I walk with someone we usually have some general walk plan, meaning how many miles to walk and where. Today the where was firm but how many miles was not. I knew anytime I walked with Beth it would be for a long distance. Since six miles was my max I wasContinue reading “Accidental”

Day 36 Late yesterday and last night it rained. My husband and I decided to hike five short hikes to check out waterfalls swollen from the rain. We visited three Cleveland Metroparks: Garfield Heights Reservation, Bedford Reservation, and South Chagrin Reservation. We saw well over seven waterfalls. We drove to these locations and hiked 2.53Continue reading “Falls Hike”

Day 35 One thing I am loving about this sixty-five-day walk journey is the opportunity to revisit parks I have not been in for awhile and to hang out with some great friends. Today I walked 4.17 miles with Jackie from church. She and I have never walked together and it was a wonderful wayContinue reading “Reverse Walk”

Day 34 One of my Akron long distance walkers met me at the Wilbeth Trailhead on the Ohio Erie Canal Towpath in Akron. I got there fifteen minutes early and immediately took pictures of the pond on the opposite side of the canal. I thought I had never been there before. It was so beautiful.Continue reading “Misremember”

Day 33 Woo whoo! I am half way through the sixty-five day walking journey! Today I walked with my seven-year-old grandson for forty-five minutes for two miles in the 80 plus degrees temperatures. I have walked with him in the past from stroller to running. However due to COVID-19, it has been over a yearContinue reading “Half Way There”

Day 32 God had fun with Sonia and I tonight. I was hoping to walk at least four miles with her because we have done it in the past. We prayed and chatted like we normally do on our walks. What was different is we walked in the North Chagrin Reservation. We have walked inContinue reading “God laughed”

Day 31 As usual my Tuesday walker was somewhere else walking outside and I was hiking simultaneously with my husband. We hiked three hours while half an hour of that time I talked with my friend on the phone for 3.02 miles. Every now and then I would tell her what I was looking at.Continue reading “Obstacle Course Hike”

Day 30 My husband and I walked yesterday and today. So far it seems we are setting a habit of hiking and walking on Sunday and Monday because of my sixty-five days of walking. Sundays are always our weekly date; we hike or go to the movies. But we have not been to a movieContinue reading “APT Walk”
