500 Mile Journey

500 Mile Journey

As the snow begins to melt and the Spring sun comes out Kerry and I are back to training for this years 5k races. 
Our first race will be in Idaho Falls the end of April. 
This is the very first race I walked after my knee surgery. Back then I signed up for the 1 mile and believe me I felt very accomplished to walk the 1 mile. 
Years later Kerry and I have signed up and walked nearly 10 races. 
We usually do 3-5 each year and they are mostly destination events for us. That way we have a little vacation and help the community too. 
I have designed Walking Journey T-Shirts to help me stay motivated.

Both women and men shirts

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...
