Last week, I mentioned the unusually warm weather and in keeping up with Texas crazy weather, this morning we started our walk in the mid-30’s. Fortunately, it was clear and the wind was not too bad.
With another 9+ miles under our belts, I think each walk get’s easier than the last. White Rock Lake and the trails that link it were our walk today, with our early start, we missed all but the heartiest runners and cyclist on the first part of our walk but it became very busy on the way back.
Once again, it was Ann and Me, L&R did much the same walk but started at 11:00 just as we were finishing up. Our conversation today covered a wide spectrum and religion was one of our topics. As an atheist, I don’t share Ann’s beliefs but I do share her desire to lead a positive life. I’m always pleased when people with different beliefs, cultures, opinions, etc. can see that there are often more commonalities than there are differences.
We’re all ramping up for our longer and more realistic walks, we have our next walk back at Cedar Ridge which is less linear and has regular elevation changes. This was my favorite walk so far followed by LLELA and then Arbor Hills. All three share a diversity that the other walks do not have.
My travel plans are finalized, equipment is in order and now it’s just making sure that I’m in shape and prepared to go. I’m about 11 weeks out so I ordered my credential yesterday, that may take 4-6 weeks but I wanted to have it so I did not have to wait in line for one in SJPP.
