My Dream Come True

For the past 28 years I have wanted to traverse the United States on foot (first I wanted to run but now I know it will only be walking). It is finally going to happen. I intend to start my adventure on 2 March 2019. Unfortunately I am still having problems figuring out the route…

GRATITUDE

GRATITUDE – the most powerful force in the Universe. I will be writing a whole lot more on this (most likely when I’m on the train Thursday) but today i just wanted to let everyone know that I am so completely filled with gratitude that it is overflowing. From these wonderful Gluten Free cookies/muffins I…

Final Route

FINAL ROUTE (if all goes well). This map includes my making it to Tennessee in time to do the Vol State race. If I don’t make it there in time, then all bets are off as there will have to be major revisions but this is what I’m going with. I have had good input…

I’m a City Girl

Those of you that know me pretty well know that I’m a city girl so for me to have put this tent up in less than 3 days (just kidding) is a minor miracle! the tent part is easy because it’s self -contained but the “fly” was a challenge for me. Thank goodness for my…

Team PEB

The clock is ticking….2 weeks from today I leave San Antonio and head to California for the “start”. As many others have said, though, you cannot do this alone – well, others can but I can’t. As they say “it takes a village” – in my case I’ll settle for a bunch of great Army…

Training Partners?

Never know what you’ll find in the woods….. I am very fortunate I live near a wonderful park. I have been training in it for a long time now but am always trying to find new paths. Saturday and Sunday I met some unique “training partners”. It’s interesting how you’ll miss things depending on where…

UFOs? Ha Ha

UFO? No, I haven’t lost my mind. Well, maybe I have but that’s a whole other story..ha ha. I got to go out and walk today for the first time in almost 2 weeks (between work and my oral surgery). It was just fun, no major long distances. I followed a different trail and came…

Angel Anthony

More on Angels: Yes, I could have put all of yesterday’s angels in one post but that wouldn’t have been fair to each of them. So, this post is dedicated to another unknown and unseen angel Anthony John Moody Nelson. That sounds diminutive to say he’s unknown but he was unknown to me until a…
