500 Mile Journey

500 Mile Walking Journey with  Kerry and Jean  Let's Get Walking!  Progress Report Week 8 Day Trip on the back roads of Nevada  It has been so hot here, still with temperatures in the high 90's that we just haven't been walking like we should be.  We decided we needed a day trip to the back roads of Nevada to find some cooler hiking areas where we can get out of the heat.  We got up early, packed a lunch and headed out towards Ruby Marshes.  We finally got the Blue Heron taking off for flight.  enjoy this video ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HeHLQlnzSY There's nothing better then walking outside  and seeing the world. We did find lots of places to hike, walk on dirt roads, and stay cool,   more photo's and videos to come.  Progress Report Miles walked:  87.1  Miles to goal: 412.9 Let's Get Walking Kerry and Jean 

500 Mile Walking Journey with  Kerry and Jean  Let's Get Walking!  "All truly great thoughts are  conceived  by walking." Fredrick  Nutzsche What a week we have had! While Kerry and I walk, we talk! It's a great way of sharing our thoughts and bouncing of new ideas off each other.   We are so very close again to our next milestone of 75 miles.  Soooo, we're planning something really cool for next weeks celebration.  This week we kept close to home with our usual walk around the marina. Occasionally, we get lucky and see a big bird fly by, like when we caught the pelican taking off.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fmYsznrt8M&t=9s  Spring Creek Marina is getting ready for their 4th of July celebration.

500 Mile Walking Journey with  Kerry and Jean  Let's Get Walking!  Progress Report Time It's Sunday Morning.  It's official  Summer's here.  Today we walked up to our little market and got coffee and donuts.  We're trying to see if we can add miles by going to different places each day, just to mixed it up a bit.  However, we are finding that the most fun and interesting daily walk is around the  Spring Creek Marina with the birds migrating.  If you are just joining us this week,  we have just completed our second milestone of walking 50 Miles.  Here is our celebration. https://500mileswalkingjourney.blogspot.com/2017/06/500-mile-walking-journey-50-mile.html We celebrated with our daughter, Sarah and our grandson James for a hike and picnic in the Ruby Mountains of Nevada.  Now that we are retired, and have all the time in the world, we thought we would walk, hike, and spe...

WEEK 1  TOTAL 22.6 MILES  The first days of the walk were the hardest for me. I got blisters,  sunburned, and my lower back and hips were sore. My body wasn't use to walking 3 miles everyday. We decided to stick close to home for the first week, just walking around our neighborhood. We walked around the Spring Creek Marina because its close, flat, and, it also is a wonderful place to see the migrating birds. Later we added a bit of an incline with walking up the hill for breakfast at JJ's and picking up our mail on the way home. A 3 mile walk for us will take us an hour, sometimes longer if we stop for photo's and water.  This is a journey, not a ...
