Day 224 - Fred and Tread

I have started listening to some different Podcasts on my morning walks. I am looking for uplifting, thoughtful media that will inspire me higher. I found one that I love. It is called 'Finding Fred'. It is about the ways that Fred Rogers (Mr. Rogers) impacted people through the show that he had- Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. I loved this show when I was young, and Im sure I would still love it even now. I will need to see if I can find some re-runs. It is surely inspiring the way that he led his life and how he interacted with children to make them feel special. This is something each of us can strive to do - strive to help everyone you meet be glad to have met you, and come away with a smile.

The treadmill my sister Kelly gave us, had a crack in the cover that goes over the motor. The other night, it was making this grinding noise, so I grabbed the plastic cover and lifted it up as it was vibrating against the tread.I couldnt get it to stop, so I lifted it up a bit and the whole casing pulled up. It was in a few pieces after that. Looked like Humpty Dumpty and couldnt be put back together again. Now I have pulled it off and have exposed the innards of the beast. It sure sounds a lot better. As long as I dont get my foot stuck in there, I should be able to keep on working my way to Argentina.

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.

Missionary Marathons: Sister Dummer

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! Here is a bit more about Sister Dummer, so you can get to know more about her and why she is so special: She is from Layton, UT And loves Running, hiking, swimming, baking, being with f...

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...
