At the start of this year I was having a difficult time getting myself out the door for runs. I just didn’t know what kind of goal I wanted this year and without a goal, I wasn’t getting the miles in.
Well then an awesome woman named Kathy helped me out. She gave me a goal. I am running from my house in British Columbia to her house in South Dakota. It is a very long way!! It may actually take me years to get there, but it does the trick and gets me out the door:)
At the start of April I was in the Olallie State Park in Washington.
My goal was to make it to Ellenaburg, but I actually made it past there and Kittitas. I am now where Park Creek crosses the I90.
Unfortunately there is nothing here- not even a lake, so there’s no place to stop:(. I may be tempted to dip my feet into this creek as it’s quite the creek!
I really didn’t realize that it would take me so many months to just get through Washington State, but it will be okay as long as Kathy doesn’t move!🤣
Until next month!
AJ
Encourage Kathy to move closer.
Heehee now there’s a good idea I hadn’t thought of!
😂 Not happening, the garden has been planted!
Oops! I apologise! I must not disturb a gardener or her garden. I’ve just come in from pulling saplings out of our little flower garden. I wouldn’t want to move, knowing I prevented a forest from growing in our backyard.
Your comment tickled me Anne! I enjoy reading your replies to AJ. 😊
I shall look for your replies now. It’s lovely to meet you.
The same to you!
Hey this is great- two of my favourite readers are meeting:)
No the garden was the hardest thing to leave when I moved too
I am a very reluctant gardener, and I have the feeling I’m going to throw a farewell party for the garden when it is time to move from this house. If I get nostalgic, I’ll pull out a few photos.
Heehee- ok, I guess I’ll just have to run the whole way. I’m at 413 and I put another 8 in this morning:)
I love this!!🥰
Thanks:) it gets me out the door
At the rate you are going, you’ll be there in no time. Then…New York!
Yes New York is up next! I thought I had run so far so it’s tough to not even get to Moses Lake, but I’m getting closer with every step:)
I’ll let you know when the coast is clear. Our governor just closed school for the remainder of the academic year. I can’t I disagree and I can’t really say I am unhappy about this. I am really content and peaceful and don’t enjoy this feeling while in session.
Yes I saw you were closed. It would be calming to have a decision. I’ve been upset this week as they keep talking of us going back
That’s a fun goal! I’ve been struggling getting out the door but once I’m out then I’m usually in a good mood
Yup it definitely helps my moods lately
That’s great!
Moses Lake is probably a bit of a stretch this month unless you are planning some 20km runs this month.😳 Washington is a big state, but it is getting you mentally prepared for Montana! However, the scenery in Montana changes so much it will be entertaining at least!
Yes Moses City is probably a little far, but I figure with every run I get a tiny bit closer:). It has been neat to look up what I’m going by- so far, a lot of trees!
