4 more miles

These miles are for mowing our lawn. It was an hour to mow on a steep incline. If I would have done something similar on the elliptical it would have been more miles but I just figure 1 mile per 15 minutes.

2 miles today+1 for strength 2 other days

I guess I pushed myself a little too hard having bronchitis the other day. I kept cardio low and did some strength training and stretching 2 days this week...I will count that as one more mile. Hopefully I will get at least 2 more miles in today. Heading to the home of Big Foot! Can't wait to walk there.

Finally back after being sick!




Today is my first workout since I started getting sick 2 weeks ago. My pace was a little slower since I still have a respiratory infection. I did 3 miles on the elliptical in 37 minutes. My lungs were hurting!...I felt great though. I am always amazed at how much I miss my workouts when I don't do them.

This means I am half-a-mile from my next destination. So, take a look at the giant shoe made of shoes:)

"Clayton, Missouri - Big Shoe Made of Shoes
The Big Shoe Made of Shoes is located in front of the Brown Shoe Company Executive offices - not their factory. I worked there for many years. Brown Shoe Company was the first Fortune 500 company to locate and build in Clayton. Although it is no longer a Fortune 500 company it is still the largest shoe distributor in the world - and home to Buster Brown, and others brands."...pulled from Roadside America website

The next destination is 11.5 miles away (plus the .5 I still need to walk). What will we see after 12 more miles? Onward and downward! ....Amusing!

3.5 miles more


It is taking a while to get to the next spot so I am posting a picture from the City Museum... This is a picture from the City Museum in St. Louis. I bet this is sturcture is a lot of fun to climb on!

WOOOHOOO!! I feel amazing today:) I did 3.5 miles on the elliptical in 45 minutes. That takes me to a total of 5.5 miles. That gets me one more workout away from my destination.


AMUSING!!!!

Starting at the St. Louis Arch


I actually have a photo on file from the arch and it looks cool and interesting so I will start there. One mile from the St. Louis Arch is the St. Louis City Museum. As you can see in the picture they have a pair of REALY large underwear...amusing. Only 8 miles from the giant underwear is the giant shoe made of shoes. When I walk my 9 miles you will find out where I am heading next AND as an added bonus you will be graced with a photo of the giant shoe made of shoes. Do you dare return for the next stop? I hear Independence, Missouri has a hair museum...that is a real hair museum...you know, a museum with real hair....oh, nevermind!

AMUSING!!!
