It is time to celebrate Tuesday again over at Elizabeth's Altered Book Lover. But next week is the real celebration! A 5th anniversary celebration! We are doing an ATC swap, and I am ready and have mine made! It is only the third ATC swap I have ever done, so pardon me if I am excited about next week!
Ok, down to business, I have today's post to do and the T gang are waiting! Besides making the
ATC today, I also made a couple of Christmas cards and a birthday card. But before all that crafting, I went for a walk at 7:30 this morning before it got too hot. It is fun to walk in my new neighborhood. Besides an asphalt bike path, I have discovered at rail trail ; an old railroad that has been made into a bike/walking path. So, I have some options! I wear a pedometer and keep track of miles and log them on Walking4Fun. You can see it on my sidebar. I am walking the Colorado Trail virtually right now.

This morning I walked on the asphalt path until I came to the rail trail, then I walked it. I walked three miles today for an hour and I drank this liter of water after I got home!
Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget about the party next week!
How nice to have found such wonderful places to walk. And yes, getting out early before the heat sets in is a must! I also like the idea of "walking 4 fun". Oh the places I could go.... looking forward to next week's party and swap too. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteThose trails for rails are really paying off in your part of town. I like the looks of your new neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteYour walk puts me to shame. By the time I had watered my herbs on the back patio, I was already starting to feel overheated. I needed some of that water YOU are drinking, but I got light headed and got a sore throat, too.
Thanks for sharing the walking trail, your new neighborhood, and your water with us for T this Tuesday.
BTW, I'm glad you are excited about trading an ATC next Tuesday.
Great that you have some nice places to walk, enjoy! Happy T Day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThis looks a beautiful area for a walk, it must be good to walk before the heat of the day and it seems so quite and peaceful.
ReplyDeleteHappy T day wishes.

I a lovely place to walk! when we lived in Illinois they were doing allot of rails to trails for walkers. It went through several states too-I think it was set up for bicyles toos. thought that was an awesome re purpose.
ReplyDeleteI have not made an atc in years but I am going to make one for the swap too-sometime this week
Happy T Day Kathy
i do confess i should walk more in summer... if i don´t get out early, it is too hot and i quit. good to drink enough, another weak point of me, sigh...
ReplyDeletehappy t-day!
Looks like a nice area to walk especially before the heat of the day. Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteLovely places to walk Sharon, they have quite a few of those trails in Derbyshire. I love that you are doing a virtual walk, steve used to do that only cycling.

What a nice place you have to walk! Here i have to dodge cars.. Yes , even out in the country they drive like crazy people.. lol I've made my ATC's too.. And this might just be my 3rd one too.. lol I usually do postcards as ATC's are a little small for me to work on but i like to join in .. :) Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely area for walking, Sharon. I've been meaning to start my ATCs. I have the ides in my head. Thanks for the reminder. I can't wait to see yours.

ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely view along your walking path. I have only been to Colorado once and I love the lack of humidity. I bet that is great for walking.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
We have rail trails here, too, but none within walking distance. What a nice neighborhood! Happy T Tuesday :)
ReplyDeleteA wonderful area! I do a lot of dogwalking - but not really enough realxing walkings alone . I am often a bit too lazy even though we have the most beautfiul landscape here where I live.
ReplyDeleteHappy T-Day! Enjoy your beautiful surroundings!
Well done for all that walking! I love this idea of a virtual walk being linked up! I reached my target yesterday but it doesn't happen often while it's this hot! Belated Happy T day! Chrisx
