Progress Report Week 9





It's been another busy week for us. 
On our travels we went to Soldier Creek, Nv to get out of the heat. 
This is a very pretty road, but beware it is only a one lane dirt road with not many places to turn around. 
We figured we would walk along side the road and park the near the creek to rest and put our feet in the water. 
The trails are a bit too step for me yet. 

Here is a little video of our ride on Soldier Creek road and you will see how tight the road is.

Progress Report 

Miles walked: 90.4
Kayaking miles : 5.3
Total miles :  95.7
Miles to complete our 500 miles goal:  404.3
Since this summer has been so hot for us, we added kayaking to our miles, and will add cross country skiing in the winter.
We thought we should change the title of the blog to,
"500 Mile Journey" 
Our next milestone is 100 miles. 
You'll be surprised were we celebrate.

African Loins at the Idaho Falls Zoo

500 Mile Walking Journey with Kerry and Jean  Let's Get Walking! This week we went to a ZOO to walk. We visited the Idaho Falls Zoo with our son Matthew.  When your a walker and your goal is to walk 500 miles in half a year, you count every step.  While we walked all around this zoo and spent almost 2 hours there  our miles only came to .64.  So, we had to do another walk around the river after dinner.  Enjoy our trip to the zoo.  We must have spent 30 minutes watching the loins.  We got there early in the morning while they were still active.

The second home base route for the 500 mile walking journey

500 Mile Walking Journey Today we are going to take our second home base route.  The first one is walking around the Spring Creek Marina, which we do everyday.  The second is once a week to get our mail.  This route is from our house to JJ's for breakfast,  then on to the mail box, and then home.  The miles are small 2.7, but, the breakfast is so worth it.  This means that we will have to do another walk this evening to keep the miles close to 3-5 miles each day. I like to take videos of where we walk. I'm new to film making and they don't always turn out the way I would like them to. I'll get better at this because once a week we plan on going on a field trip outside of our neighborhood.   This is just the beginning of our journey.  So far we are up to 17 miles.  I hope you are thinking about sharing your walking journey with us here.  We would like to start a global community of walkers.  Here is...
