Good evening! Palm Sunday. 🌴

Some down time was I wait for my wash at the laundromat and then get groceries for the week. Just planning on keeping my pantry stocked through Thursday, as I want to shop again on Thursday or actually probably Wednesday so I can get out camping for the long weekend.

Sunny and 45 degrees at the Four Corners Laundromat. 🌞 There is a northwest breeze at 11 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 9 pm. ☃️

Well I’m working on my 20 mile walk for today. 🏃 So far I’ve gotten in 18.3 miles, hiking first out to Hollyhock Preserve in Selkirk — that Collabeck Hill is good for getting the blood pumping, then all over the Hollyhock Trails then over to Five Rivers, hiking around there the balance of the afternoon before heading home via Fisher Boulevard. I am going to do my evening walk so I can get my true 20 miles in for the day.

I really have enjoyed the walk, 🐃 🌺 and the rural landscape, but I can tell you at times that wind was super cold, especially walking along Meads Road mid-afternoon. But I am close to getting my twenty miles in for the day, which was my goal for the day, and seeing a lot of nature, at a non-hurried pace. Walked about 8 hours today though that includes numerous breaks, especially at Five Rivers, spending time to outdoors. The wind and relatively low temperatures made for a cold day but it was very sunny.

I like walking, and I plan to do more of it. This complements my more healthy eating, 🍎 is hopefully leading to better health habits. I want to do at least one more 20 mile walk before I attempt my 30 mile walk later in April or early May along the Mowhawk River on the Erie Canalway. That’s going to be a long day, but I think an enjoyable one. Probably do the 30 mile hike on Friday, when there aren’t so many crowds along the way.
