Day 11 When we scheduled the 6:30 a.m. date we forgot about the one hour time change. Sunrise was due an hour later. We would have to walk in the dark. I have night time lights and reflected gear. She might have too, but neither of us wanted to do that. So we walked onContinue reading “Before Dawn”

Day 10 Fifty degrees and sun rays warmed my face and body. I was overdressed; I did not realize it was going to be so warm. It is telephone walk Tuesday with my friend who walks in one location and me in another location. My husband joined me as we walked. My girlfriend and IContinue reading “Tag Team”

Day 9 Thirty-nine degrees with a wind chill factor that made it cooler, tightened the skin on my face. I had a scarf on my neck but I was too lazy to put it on my face. I just wanted to walk and get out of the chill. We finished with 2.24 miles. “Why areContinue reading “Neighbor”

Day 8 A fly whizzed past our heads and white flowers peeked from the ground. It is the last weekend in Winter but Spring was sending its notice that it was coming. My husband and I hiked 3.24 miles in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park in 52 degree air temperature, with blue sky, and splashesContinue reading “Signs of Spring”

Day 7 With temperatures below freezing I had the pleasure of walking 5.3 miles with my long distance homies in a local mall before the crowds came. The three of us normally walk six miles on most Saturdays. This was my first time back with them since November 14, 2021 due to high Ohio infectionContinue reading “Malling”

Day 6 “Trust me! All you need is thirty minutes. It is too sunny of a day to pass this opportunity up!” The Holy Spirit prompted me to walk around my aunt’s complex. I have two aunts and I visit each of them once a month. During the months I could not visit in 2020,Continue reading “Trust Me”

Day 5 My Thursday telephone date saw my feet move 2.02 miles. I had a doctor appointment. I arrived early so I could walk around the neighborhood and downtown in the small town near the medical facility before my appointment. My walking partner on the phone walked somewhere else. Rain was in the forecast; so,Continue reading “Rain Drops”

Day 4 My Sister-In-Christ and I walked in her neighborhood in 66 degree temperatures under partly sunny skies for 2.34 miles. The wind coming before the rain, tried to blow us down, but we walked on. My hat flew off forcing me to carry it the rest of the way. We talked and talked andContinue reading “Bubbling Over”

Day 3 On Tuesdays and Thursdays a dear friend and I walk. We walk using our cell phones. She walks in one location and me in another location. Today I walked 2.04 miles around a junior and senior high school to check out the progress of the new construction that will combine the two. ThenContinue reading “Telephone Walk”

Day 2 I did not have a plan of where to walk today. I had to squeeze in a walk among the crazy schedule of Monday. Instead of going to the park, my husband and I had a functional walk. We walked 4.33 miles round trip to drop off mail at the Post Office. OnContinue reading “Four!”
