Adding more miles to the grand total

I've been walking with Lyn quite a bit lately, but haven't been adding those walks to the "official" total, which only counted the walks I've been taking with Scott.  As of yesterday, I'm adding a new section to the spreadsheet and will be tracking all the miles I walk. Scott's gotten busier and we can't walk as many times a week, but we are still walking and still continuing toward our goal of 5300 miles.  We usually still get in at least two walks per week for 20+ miles today.

It's been really nice walking with Lyn, gives us a chance to spend some time together without any distractions and just kind of enjoy the time and talk about life.  We usually do 3-5 miles at a time, either in our local area or some destination we choose.  Lyn likes to window shop, so sometimes we "mall walk"  someplace like IKEA so she can look around while we get our exercise. She came on the Purple Stride walk with me too.

Some days I'm also going to walk alone.  I am trying to get at least 3 miles per day.

Walking with an agrarian, Bulgarian Librarian.

Scott's lovely wife, Elena, has been joining us on some of our walks.  She's trying to get in better shape, like the rest of us. She has been walking the first five miles with us, ending up back and their house, and then Scott and I go out for five or six more.  She joins us when her busy schedule permits, as she is in her final semester at OU and will be graduating in December.

I gave her that name because she hails from Bulgaria, was working in the library of her former college in Chicago when Scott met her, and previously attended Bulgaria's Agricultural University, hence, the "Agrarian Bulgarian Librarian".  She's lots of fun and it's great to have her  on the walks.


By the way, if anyone else wants to get in on the act, the more the merrier.  I'd love to end up like Forrest Gump with a thousand people following me for no apparent reason.  Would do wonders for my small, dainty ego.
