Still walking

Good Morning Y'all,

Still exploring the Decatur area and enjoying the sights.  Mike and I have signed up for the world's largest 10K run/walk.  This would be the Peachtree 10K which will have 55,000 other peeps walking/running with us!   And I thought the Bellin 10K was crowded.  The date is July 4th and starts at 7:30am......one of the hottest days of the year.   Hopefully we'll be more acclimated by then ;-)   We are heading to Stone Mountain to walk around this great stone.  They have a nice 5 mile loop.   

Have a super week and I'll touch base soon...........one step at a time!

lots of riding

Ahoy!

It's been a couple of weeks filled with many walks and many more bicycle rides.  Still exploring the area and starting to work on business plans for tours, pedicabs and lots more.  Made some initial contacts with Decatur officials, had 2 meetings with a bicycle tour owner, taught some bicycle education, and have a meeting week after next with Atlanta Bicycle Campaign people.

So, keeping busy and still looking into the medical center job posting too.  Applied for 3 positions at De Kalb Medical and putting out the vibe for an interview ;-)

Enjoying some very nice weather, upper 70s and wonderful upper 50s for night rides.  Cooling off to the 60s in the next few days.  Alright people, have a wonderful day and I'm out the door......

walking for life

What a Week!

Hi!

Wow, what a week........the last box is unpacked!!!!   And had a couple of days dealing with internet installation and then getting my Airport to work throughout the apartment....but all worth the effort cause now I'm mobile and connected ;-)    

Mike and I got out each day to walk - routed out 5 walks with mileage from 1.8 to 5.3    So that should hold me for awhile.   Loving the weather here - that is until today.  It snowed, and snowed and then snowed some more - very pretty and very surreal.   But, Friday's temp is going to be 70 so I best find my shorts for walking ;-)

Okay people, have a great walkable week!  Oh, found my camera and will get some pics posted soon........

Marty

Ahhh

Ahhh, what a great few days it's been.  Lots of visiting with Ben, Karen and trying new places to eat.  Got a couple of walks in around the neighborhood - found a nice coffee shop called Dancing Goats........lots of college kids studying and folks just hanging out.

All of us went to an interactive experience called "Dialogue in the Dark"........puts you in an environment simulating complete darkness and giving you a "glimpse" into the world of the blind.  If it comes to your city - GO!

This coming weeks starts the settling into our new apartment, and getting some walks marked off with the Garmin for distance.  Lots of hills here folks ;-)

Marty

Ta Da!

Alright!  The moving trailer is empty and it's outta here........Ben came into town today and helped with the final pieces.  We even have the spare bedroom pretty much set up for him to use the next few days.   

I did get a walk in by walking to the MARTA train station and walking thru the airport.  It's nice having the whole family together, not sure how much walking will be done in the next few days, but I'll make the effort.

Till then, have a super weekend!

Marty

more boxes!

Good Morning!

Ahhh, nothing better than a great walk to start the day ;-)  Today's walk was a trek to a potential employer - DeKalb Medical Center located less than 2 miles from our house.  Mike and I did a direct route to our destination which included some busy street traffic.  On the way back we walked side streets which was much more pleasant.    Now all I have to do is secure employment and I'll have a easy walk or bicycle commute.

More boxes to unpack today, but I am seeing an end, PLUS our son, Ben is flying in tomorrow to help move some very heavy pieces from the trailer.

Have a fantastic day, walk on!!

Marty

Boxes

Hi!  Today was a wonderful day - started off with a walk thru a nearby cemetery.  Did the outer loop of this 52 acre final resting spot.  No traffic, lots of trees, some hills, nice people walking too.

Did about 3 miles total trip.

Then, some upper body work moving and unpacking boxes ;-)  Getting the feel of our new place and actually putting some artwork on the walls.  Finished off the day with a nice little bicycle ride around the neighborhood - what a great way to explore your surroundings!

keep on walking,

Marty
