Oooh-pah! Our cumulative weekend mileage is steadily increasing. On Saturday 30 walkers tackled two 9 mile loops with a mighty fine lunch break in-between. Making the walk two loops psychologically somehow makes it seems like the 18 miles is not as long. Don’t get me wrong... it is a long day and everyone did great!
Sunday's
walk was further afield, on the very pretty Sawyer
Camp Trail with Hillcrest Blvd! Marcia led the group
of approximately 12 walkers (THANK YOU Marcia!) and the great thing
about this multi-use paved trail is each walker can decide how far to walk.
Everyone had a great time walking in the early morning enjoying the scenery and
wildlife. The trail is 12 miles out and back BUT if you add in a walk down
Hillcrest Blvd the day is a total of 15 miles!
Wooohooo everyone on an amazing
weekend!

THIS WEEK'S MAP QUOTES
Your body is built for walking. Gary Yanker
Have the courage to
take risks. Go where there are no guarantees. Get out of your comfort zone,
even if it means being uncomfortable. The road less traveled is sometimes
fraught with barricades, bumps, and uncharted terrain. But it is on that road
where your character is truly tested. And have the courage to accept that you’re
not perfect, nothing is and no one is… and that’s OK. Katie Couric
WEEKLY INSPIRATION
Watching
the Olympics is so inspiring to me. Young women and men who are reaching for personal
greatness. Medal, or no medal. Dedication, commitment, pursuing your dream whole-heartedly = greatness! You have
greatness, too. Find your greatness.
"Somehow we've come to believe that greatness is
only for the chosen few, for the superstars. The truth is, greatness is for us
all. This is not about lowering expectations; it's about raising them for every
last one of us. Greatness is not in one special place, and it's not in one
special person. Greatness is wherever somebody is trying to find it. Find your
greatness."
