Day 1592 - Good Samaritan

Was having a great Friday the 13th until I decided to be a Good Samaritan. While walking on the trail with LeAnn, she saw a dog walker in front of us drop his glove and not realize it. He was about 100 yards in front of us and I figured we would catch up with him once his dog needed a bio break. Seems his dog had an iron bladder. When we got to the end of the trail, I thought he would turn around and start walking back to the trailhead. However, he kept going out toward our neighborhood. Before he could escape, I figured I should try and catch him. I actually jogged the 100 yards to catch him. There is a reason I don’t jog. The impact on my knees with the osteoarthritis and knee surgeries does not hold up well. Still sore and hobbling along today. 

Good news was: he was thrilled that I brought his glove to him and said he was grateful he didn’t have to ask for a new pair for Christmas!

Also had a great walk in the morning at the Golden Gardens, outside of Ballard, so I guess the good outweighed the bad!

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.

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! 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...
