On Friday the Sarge, Kristen and myself went out on the 25 Km march. It was a clear day but very cold...my water even froze up! My right knee was acting up the whole way, it was just a constant pain but it never got worse to make me stop. We certainly had a few laughs along the way which made the walk much more enjoyable. We stopped for a little lunch at the intersection of Harwood road and Crossen Road...right on a sharp bend. Nobody ever gave us credit for brains! The vehicles were just screaming around that corner and we just stood there...couldn't move, to numb! We enjoyed a wrap the Sarge had prepared for us...she got the idea from Deanne from our last walk. It was whole wheat wrap with peanut butter and pecan and dried cranberries in it...it was great! Kristen kept on talking how crunchy it was...believe it or not that just cracked us up, I think we were just happy to be alive at that point! We also looked at ourselves and we came to the conclusion we were quite the crew, me with a big orange coloured coat, the Sarge and her big red maple leaf on her coat with some kids knapsack and Kristen looking like she was ready to scale the Alps. Surprised the police weren't called to take us back to the home!
We finally completed the route and were greeted by Tanya Earle who was a great cheerleader and supplier of a much needed tea...didn't have any Bailey's though!
This morning we scheduled our next hike which will be Friday March 12...this will be 30 Km's. Hopefully the weather holds for us on that day. Again, if your interested come out and join us.
I don't know why this came to mind...but it did. When we were walking on the 25 K the Sarge thought she could smell fabric softener...I guess my farts smell like Frebreeze!!
Big(Nice smelling) Dave out!
