April 19 7:00 a.m. we began at Mathews Beach and walked North. We certainly went by some beautiful homes along the water. There were a couple that were really really cute...I wouldn't mind having one of them!! Today was a 170 minutes walk.
Some of the group were not there this Saturday. Hopefully they are not sick with the bug that has been going around and lingering. The weather was cool again (hand warmers and ear protectors cool) and just as we finished the rain began. That was a lucky break. I just have no desire to do a long walk in the rain.
Today I walked with Mary Ellen. She is training for the Alaska walk but is able to train with us. It was enjoyable getting acquainted with her.
The walk wasn't difficult at all and at the end my feet did not really hurt at all.
Afterwards I stopped in Fremont to buy a cup of coffee from Kerri's shop. She had cut here hair to just above the shoulder. It looks beautiful and very attractive! Then I stopped in to visit Harry and Tordis and had a good visit with them.
Sunday Pat, a friend from New Hampshire was in Seattle visiting with her daughter. They were looking at the Art Institute as a possible college for her daughter to attend. We attended worship at UPC, lunch at the Pelican Cafe and then toured some of the city. We drove by the University some of the houseboats, Gas Works Park and Fremont. We went to the Ballard Locks and watched the boats for a while. Then I drove them out the see Snoqualmie Falls. The view of the mountains as we drove there was really beautiful and I was glad they were able to see that view. We finished the day with dinner at The Cheesecake Factory in Bellevue...our cheesecake was simply delicious!
This week I train to get ready for a long walk on Saturday.
Soon we will be a month away from the big walk. It is amazing to think the time is almost here.
This Friday I'll get my orthotics and hopefully I'll see a big improvement for my long walks.
