Day 15 & 16

 I am halfway through this challenge!!

Day 15 was an adventure!

8 km

It was nice and sunny but very cold due to the wind. I walked along the beach and marvelled at the strength of the waves as they crashed into shore. 

Cool rock on the beach

Move your paws

Me, cold

I did not make this. I was too focussed on staying warm to play with rocks. 

My walk started far beyond that corner where the condos are. 

The holes are swallow nests. 

The sign says “CAUTION steep bluff stay well back from edge”

Day 16

5.5 km

I somehow managed to convince the two boys to come with me. It was uncomfortably cold and windy again. 

Proof they came with me.

Day 13 & 14

 Both days were really long.  I worked at one job in the morning and then another in the afternoon.  I managed to get 4km in on Day 13 and 6km on Day 14.

In just two weeks the polar bears have reached their goal of 10,000 km and have set a new goal of 20,000 km.  I am really enjoying being a part of this and I hope you're enjoying following me along.

Here are some pictures from the last two days.

A new goal!

Day 11 & 12

 Day 11 I ran in 3.5 km the morning and then walked to work for another 2.5 km. 6 km total  

Day 12 I walked to work in the morning and then after dinner walked back into town and home again for a total of 7 km. I am tired and have two more long days ahead of me but I have the weekend to look forward to.

Day #10

 6 km this morning!

The sky was beautiful over Lake Ontario. I wandered through the Samuel Wilmot Nature Area as it lightly snowed. 

Love this hidden gem found on the path. 

Gnome home. The gnomes have gone for the season yet there still seems to be more added to their place every time I visit. Curious.

Day #9

 The darn cat woke me up early this morning so I decided to get outside and get my kms in for the day.  I ran for 4 km and walked another 4 km. I have a goal to run my very first 10k this summer for the Canada Army Run. I am so happy that I was able to run 4km this morning without feeling tortured.  It gives me hope that I’ll be able to do the 10 km.

It was another cold morning but the beautiful sun was shining and I was dressed warmly enough that it didn’t bother me too much. 

Felt a little windier than 5km/hr in some spots

Beautiful sunrise on Lake Ontario

Crazy people fishing. At least I was moving and keeping warm 

Path near our home

This will soon be full of sailboats

My breath was freezing folds in the buff
