8r4d In lieu of day eighteen of my #running streak I substituted a 10k multi-terrain #hike #walk thru the #rivervalley with C&A. I’d call it a streak break but we logged 2.5 hours on feet and climbed some good hills, so I’m going to make up some more rules on the fly and say since I logged it and it’s pretty respectable, it’s more of a streak pause and the streak continues unabated. Later on this summer we’ve booked a long weekend of backpacking in the mountains carrying packs and food and tenting up in the wilderness. The city trails are a lot more civilized but also a lot closer to home to practice on.

8r4d On our morning practice #hike #walk with C&A we saw #downtown #yeg from a whole bunch of different perspectives. #cityscape

8r4d Just a family #walk on a quiet #spring evening. What better way to spend an hour after a long day of runs and yard work.

8r4d I set out this morning to see just how long it would take to walk from my front door to #westedmontonmall on foot. That’s one heck of a long #walk. Nearly 12k and two and a half hours later, crossing the river, finding bridges across a couple major roads, climbing the Wolf Willow stairs, finding the school where I did my student teaching two decades ago and generally walking a lot, I stepped thru the doors of the mall. I think I earned a lunch out.

pixelazy I decided to go for a long #walk today instead of a long bike ride and I wound up in the valley trails where #spring is showing signs of reappearance in the form of tree buds and various insects. #insect #spider #macro

8r4d Our morning #walk was full of interesting shadows.

8r4dsfeets My shoes this month are a pair of old recycled runners from a few years ago, but they are good enough for long morning #walk through the dog park on a quiet Tuesday morning. It may be #spring but there is still ice on the river. #rivervalley
