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.  Paces for Payton  https://www.pacesforpayton.org/ 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.  Please visit my online store.  Both women and men shirts  https://www.zazzle.com/collections/walking_journey_t_shirts-119561391246098934?rf=238392465965343686  Be Inspired, ~jean

The Fern Canyon Trail is a 7.7 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Little River, Ca. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips and birding . We didn't walk that far. What we did was walked 1.5 up and 1.5 back so we did our 3 miles walk. Which was plenty to get the feel of the trees and the environment. enjoy a l...

Make a wish in the tunnel, it's always a good idea. On our travels when went through the Carlin Tunnels. It's a little ritual of mine to make a wish when I drive through tunnels.

Good Morning, After the Solar Eclipse which was totally awesome. I needed some time to process what my astrological sign said was going to happen after the eclipse! Taking Two Minutes In Nature to meditate on this is always a good idea. Be Inspired, ~jean
