I had to force myself to get up off the couch and finish getting my walking in today. I had her about 5 miles complete but needed to get to 10 to reach my daily goal. I did get a few miles in before going to the aquarium today, but I have found that when I am on my feet for three hours straight that often wears me down more than walking for three hours. For my responsibilities at the aquarium as a volunteer I am washing windows and preparing the food for the sharks bringing up items from the freezer. I don’t think I realize that when I’m standing up consistently back it’s very challenging have my knees start hurting. So after returning from the zoo I was actually pretty wiped out. I ended up taking a nap but then realized I needed to get back out and continue my journey. That is a great thing about having a goal that is visible the mini outside of yourself. I feel bigger urgency  and desire to use sugar that I complete his daily goals so that I can switch my final goal at the same time as Austin finishes his mission. So right now I am out walking in the back lots of Jovita enjoying the shade on this 78° afternoon. That’s one of the wonderful things. About you can always find nice shady spot beneah the trees.

Nosh N Walk: Week 49

#millersnoshnwalk week 49: We had the pleasure of hanging out with the Scurvy Dogs Book Club on the last day of the month. We had some trouble getting the gang together this month, but squeaked by on 2/28 to keep our streak alive! Going into our 11th year of the book club, we have met every month and have now read 129 books. This past month we read The Lincoln Highway, by Amor Towles, it was a good read. We met up at BBQ Pete’s and had some fantastic BBQ and invited the Scurvy Wives. I had a prime rib dip sandwich and LeAnn had the ‘Sandwich with No Name’ - sliced brisket, cheese and crispy onion straws. They even had free soft serve ice cream cones! So good.

While on my Journey to complete walking 24,901 miles of #ToddlingAroundTheEquator, I am focusing these walks on the amazing missionaries that I know that are serving around the world. I am dedicating walking a marathon of miles for these missionaries and tag them as #missionarymarathons. I am so grateful to these faithful missionaries for dedicating their lives to teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ! This week I have walked 26.2 miles for Sister Dummer, who is serving in our Ward. We have had the privilege of having her over to our house for lessons and for dinner. It has been great to get to know her and see her beautiful smile and the love she has for the Gospel. She has been in the mission now for almost a month, and I can tell she is going to help change so many lives for the better as a missionary!

I am so grateful to these faithful missionaries for dedicating their lives to teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ! These past few weeks I have walked 150.4 miles for Elder Brendan Murphy, who is my nephew. (Gotta go a few extra marathons for my family!) I decided to walk the distance between the first two Cities he has served in in Finland, Turku and Lahti. Brendan is a special man, with a beautiful smile. He is intelligent, kind and thoughtful. It has been a privilege to watch him grow up and become such a man who is now serving the Lord with all his heart, might, mind and strength. It is an honor to be his uncle. Here is a bit more about Elder Murphy, so you can get to know more about him and why h...
