Walk 226. 1.6 miles

Walk 225. Morning mist

So pretty walking in Magnolia this morning. Went with a friend and had a nice talk. 3.6 miles

Walk 224. Stroll with E, then the kids

Walked with E to the library to return a few books (impossibly beautiful warm day after church), then walked with the kids up the hill to a friend's birthday party. 1 mile (it counts!)

Walk 223. 2.8 miles

(I'm blogging in hindsight, and I literally don't even remember this walk. What did we do today again??? Oh....rented a violin for S and then went to the Women's mtg then B&N with friends. I must have walked in the morning.)

Walk 222. Put it off all day...

so I walked in the dark. 1.9 miles

p.s. it was a big day for me/S. We found out S was cast in PNB's Nutcracker! She auditioned the Sunday before & we'd been on pins/needles waiting for the cast list to be posted today. We prepared her that she might not get it and it would be disappointing but okay (They give out roles first based on who will fit the costume, then on dancing ability) and it was a good experience to even audition. But I was so stressed/worried about helping her deal with it if she didn't make it. So all morning I was too stressed to talk then when we found out in the afternoon I basically floated around on a cloud of relief and happiness that she will in fact make her 9-yr-old dream come true. Going for an actual walk today was definitely an afterthought. 

Walk 221. Break in the rain

Morning walk with Elizabeth. 4 miles

Walk 220. Feeling sick

J fell asleep in the car on the way home from ballet drop-off. Was hoping to transfer him into the stroller and go on a long walk. He woke up. We casually walked around the village and got supplies for AD. It's hard getting excited for walks when I feel yuck. J has been sick since Monday & everyone is feeling it. Oh, it rained almost all day, but when we went out around sunset the sky was a pretty stripe pink and grayish-blue. About a mile.

Walk 219. GL while talking to my folks

Fun to talk to my mom and catch her up on everything that's been going on since school began. Super fun to talk to my dad about last night's Giants/Dodgers game (that went to extra innings) and make fun of BB. 2.8 miles

Walk 218. 1.5 miles

J stayed home sick. Everyone is feeling crummy. Went on a short walk around the village to get some fresh air and supplies (medicine, soup, sprite, OJ, vanilla wafers) to help him feel better.

Walk 217. 2.7 miles

Walk 216. 1.2 miles

This was barely a walk. Went to "The Market" (aka Pike's Pl market) with my kiddos to enjoy the lovely Saturday afternoon. Strolled around the tiny park, looked at all the goodies, sampled fruit, almost bought a big bouquet of dahlias (I think they were dahlias) and headed back just under an hour (free parking time at Cost Plus). Stopped at the new Pagliacci's in Interbay, then went to Ella Bailey where J perfected his "Sea of Lightning" move and S worked on decreasing her fime up the climbing wall. Wonderful Saturday afternoon.
