500 Mile Walking Journey with  Kerry and Jean  Let's Get Walking!  Progress Report Week 7 It has been so hot here with lots of fires to the West and East of us. The air has been hot and heavy with smoke. We went up to Twin Falls thinking  we would do some hiking by the canyon ridge, but it was 100 degrees there too! We have not walked much since 4th of July. We did celebrate our 75 miles walking doing the Freedom Run 5K .

  500 Mile Walking Journey with  Kerry and Jean Let's Get Walking! Kerry and Jean with their Teton 5K medals. Welcome Back! Kerry and I just got back from doing the Teton 5K in Rexbury, Id. . What a wonderful day we had.  They were commemorating 41 years of the Teton Dam's flood.    We went early in the morning, our race started at 8:30.  Teton 5K video at the race. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruy4lwrTZiA&t=20s Kerry and I started doing 5K's as a way for me to recover from knee surgery. Walking is good physical therapy, plus I like to have goals.  We started looking around the community for 5K's . It's a good way to give back to local towns doing fundraisers, plus we get the health benefits of walking.  After doing a few close to home, we started to venture out  looking for 5K's where we planned to travel.  This is the site I use to find 5K's for when we travel.  http://www.runningint...

Here we are this morning in beautiful Nevada.  We had to revise yesterday's walk to add a few more miles.  This walk is 3.6 and will take us to JJ's restaurant for breakfast, pick up the mail, and then loop home.  We will do this walk once a week.  Our first home base walk is around the Spring Creek Marina, 3 miles, everyday. Second home base walk is to loop around for breakfast and pick up mail, 3.6, once a week.

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...
