7AM - still very foggy out and I was off for an adventure this morning. My pack was full of good snacks and a water & gatorade today. I decided to walk up to SR 54 to Little Rd. The open fields were very foggy and then out of nowhere all the cows started mooing, but I couldn’t see anything out there. I was hoping nothing bad was happening! By 8:00 most of the fog had burned off and I could see all the cows eating their breakfest in the field.
(4miles) I had made it up to Little Rd and stopped at Panera Bread to have quick breakfast bagel w/butter. Didn’t stop to eat, just got it to go and off I was - down Little Rd to Trinity. I felt like a teenager walking on the side of the road since there was no sidewalks. I came across more cows this time I saw about 6 calves playing in field, running around and chasing each other. They were so cute! I stopped to watch them play which was at the 5 mile point. I did see several dead snakes and thought of Cheryl.
It was 6 miles and I finally made it to main enterance of Trinity. I was amazed that it was only 6 miles. Continued on through Trinity and when it was all said and done it was 11 miles - 3 hours! I really didn’t stop to rest only stopped for about 5 minutes when I got a bagel and 5 minutes to watch the calves play.
I did wear my new socks. However I have several issues - 1- those great socks don’t come in small and 2 - they only had one pair left that Cheryl & Colleen recommended. I ended up buying that one pair then bought the other pairs in level 3. I also found walking socks that New Balance makes in size small, so I bought a few pairs of them too. Well, I like the NB pair, just don’t have as much cushion. I wore the level 3 socks today and I really liked them. I’m all set for socks…. $60.00 worth!
Next week it’s money raising time! But, I’ll push to get my walks in.
