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!

caught a summer cold and had to really cut back but I did manage to make it to stage 3!just over 50 miles so far in little more than a week. ANd...yet.....SO FAR TO GO LOL 🙂 See you on the trail 😉

[Bobbinyc]

Joy, let me know when you are starting the Pacific Crest. When you start, Ill close out of Florida.

Yay! Keep going. Feel better too!

I'd like to start today. Oh yes, please join me. You ever get my message about friending each other?

[auroram]

thank you Joy. Ii managed 1.45 miles today and if i feel better ill try a few more stels tnight..but I dont want to go overboard and end up worse..that wont help mhy mileage in the long run 😉

Somehow, despite attempting to hike on the Pacific Trail, I ended up on Camino Frances. It's 500 some odd miles, I think. I'm disappointed but there doesn't seem to be a way to go onto another trail until I finish it. Sigh!

[Bobbinyc]

I wonder if that is why i am having so much trouble changing trails. I was looking for you on Pacific Crest. Wow. At the rate I'm going, The Keys is a life long comittment! i'll try again to get off and join you.

[Bobbinyc]

Joy, it says we are both on PC, but not moving!

[Chananigans]

Yay!! Congrats Joy!

I didn't stand a chance! I also didn't get many steps in this weekend, as I was busy with the bridal shower festivities. I should hit the end of the trail tomorrow!

Already inviting myself to the next virtual walk. This is fun!

It said you can't split steps between two trails. I can't figure out how to leave that trail and go to the pacific coast. I never signed up for the other one but somehow ended up on it. The keys was a fun one so at least you are on a fun one.

[Bobbinyc]

Joy, my walk is messed up. It says I am on the Keys, but doesn't show me listed there. It shows both of us listed in Pacific Crest, but with zero steps, and not adding. I am thinking of signing in with a new nickname (some version of 'Bobbi' and a new email and just going in to Pacific Crest. What do you think?
Also, I'm not sure who your message about friending was to. If it was me, I apologize. Not only didnt I see it, I am so low tech on this, I don't even know what that means or what to do. sounds great though.

[Joy_]

The friending was to you Bobbi. Yeah, I don't get what happened to the trails either.

[Joy_]

Looks like I'm started on the Pacific Coast Trail. They don't allow you to split miles between trails, on the same day. So you can start on a new trail, which I did, and add to that one. I just chose the Pacific Trail and my miles went onto that. Please join me.

Way to go you guys!  I miss seeing you on the Florida Keys leadboard!!!  I'm sticking to it though.  Gotta see it to completion...I had a bad week this week in getting in my steps...have to make up for it.

I'll catch you guys on another trail hopefully!

Chananigans You did great!! If you didn't have the bridal shower, you would have beat me for sure!!! How was the shower? Careful getting on the next trail as it's easy to get on  the wrong one. See you in California!!

[Bobbinyc]

Joy, I'm on the trail with you! And behind already!! LOL.  I don't know why it didn't register yesterday (when I walked 3 miles), but did today (when I didn't walk much).   Is your leg still ok?

[Bobbinyc]

paperclip, you have been doing so great.  I think we need to be "off" once in a while.  It re-invigorates us.

[Joy_]

Hmmm. Funny, all my steps aren't registering today. It's down about 2,000 steps less than I have walked and no idea why.

Thanks for asking about my leg. My calves are great now but I messed up my right foot. Sunday night I walked down the block in my sandals without orthotics, very bad idea. I really messed up my right arch. I walked this morn and it felt normal after ten minutes and I was able to complete my regular walk. My PT said I should be wearing my sneakers all day, even in the house. She emphasized no walking barefoot. That's been rough but I did it today. Maybe tomorrow I will take out the orthotics and use them in other more open shoes. How've your aches and pains been doing?

[paperclip]

Thanks Bobbinyc!!  I'm back at it and feeling great.  The foot is doing really well now too.  I'll see you on the trails!  🙂

[Bobbinyc]

Ok, Joy. it's only day 2 and you are already 5 miles ahead of me! Tell me the truth, you are strapping it to your little dog's foot, aren't you?
