virtual hike starts 6/3

[Bobbinyc]

I'm starting a virtual hike of the Florida Keys tomorrow, June 3.  That way, instead of just saying I took 10,000 steps, I can say "I made it to Key West!)  I thought I'd start with the shortest trail.

Join me and let's post our progress and encourage each other!

Hi @Bobbinyc I feel like we are walking together on this trail 🙂

I enjoyed seeing all the poppies yesterday. I love wildflowers.

[Bobbinyc]

Hi Word, Nice walking with you. I like the flowers a lot. The rest of the trail - not so much.

[Bobbinyc]

Joy, how do you like crater lake? I didn't get to join you right away and thought, between the rate you walk and how short the trail is, you'd be finishing by the time I start!

Hi Bobbi, The trail is all ice and snow, a contrast to our weather. I've been enjoying the photos so far, although I havent been on the trail all that long. The photos though are close up and taken with more thought. Hope you join me. How you doing?

[WordWhimsy]

@Bobbinyc we made it to Stage 5! And look who is just ahead?  There she is @paperclip nice to be on the same stage for a little while 🙂

I'm leaving for a weekend conference, which involves a LOT of sitting 😞 boo!  I'll have to hit the hotel gym at night.

It has been a bit better over the past week but it is climbing in degrees here again and is supposed to be 107 by Sunday. I will have t walk indoors, ie use my elyptical that day! I walk about 7.5 to 8 miles on tue. through thursdays (to work and back) but had some interruptions over the past week as I helped get my son ready for his new apartment. Back on track at this point and did lamost 8 miles today 🙂

That is terrific Auto! 8 miles!!! Wonderful!

Hi @Bobbinyc nice to see you on the trail! I thought it was pretty cool that we got to see the trail from above in the glider plane.  I did that once in Hawaii, it was strange to be in a plane with no engine.

@WordWhimsy @BobbinycYou guys crack me up!!!!  I love you for always putting a smile on my face. 

I'm still on Stage 5.  But I think I'm creeping up on Stage 6.  So nice to have company!!!

@Joy_

How is the Crater Lake trail going?  I saw your comment about the improved pictures...I really look forward to that walk.

Hi paperclip! How are you?
Psst- nicole- she thinks we are going to keep her company. don't tell her we are going to zip right passed her.
OK, you'll zip. I'll struggle to keep up.

[Bobbinyc]

Nicole...I noticed you quietly sped passed me. I think that blur was you- too fast to be sure.
Nice going!

[Bobbinyc]

Joy, how are you doing? Knowing you, you are probably almost done with Crater Lake!

[WordWhimsy]

@paperclip You look like you are ready to hit Stage 6 today, @Bobbinyc we've got some major catching up to do! I did have a nice walk with the dog last night, it has finally cooled down a bit and we had a nice breeze.  We moved this summer near a lake on a private road, and I definitely enjoy walking so much more now. Have a great day everyone!

@WordWhimsy and @Bobbinyc I did end up at Stage 6.  Even when we're not on the same stages, it still feels like we're all walking together!

I snuck into stage 10 without even realizing it after not checking in on the trail yesteray! I have been waiting to cheer the 300 mile mark and here I am at 308 LOL. It is very hard to believe that I have walked 308 miles in 57 days. Perhaps for the marathon set this is no biggie...but yeah for me, wow 😄 My family thinks I am crazy but at least they dont think I am lazy 😉

[paperclip]

Wow auroram, that's amazing!!!! Way to go!!! I'm so pleased for you. And, thanks to for motivating me to get going!

[Bobbinyc]

Auroram. WOW. You should celebrate. You are really doing so much! I dan't get vernhow many miles you log.Congrats on the 300!!

[auroram]

My mileage becomes inevitable during the week because once I walk to work...I don't have a choice but to walk back LOL. Good thing I have gotten used to it too since my hubbys car just went caput.

Hi Everyone, Somehow I've started walking the Crater lake trail all over again, very frustrating. You all seem to be doing well on  your trails.
