18km today and Happy Easter!
Hi everyone! Today Ernie and I will do 18km so that we can have tomorrow off to go celebrate Easter with his family. So far I'm proud to say we have never missed a long walk, we have missed the odd short walk but NEVER a long one! The long walks are the ones that put hair on your chest, or if it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger, no pain no gain, we don't quit until the fat ladies sings and I ain't... singing! (Sue you thought I was going to say "bothered" didn't you lol) I may not have lost much weight doing all this training but I have gained endurance! Once we are done this marathon, we will take 2 weeks off and just walk with the grandkids, then we are back at it for a family half marathon. So if I keep this up maybe some of the weight will find itself a new home. This summer we are playing slow pitch with the kids and hope to start up a tennis night along with walking, roller blading, swimming and of course golf. Should keep us out of trouble! And we are hoping to see our friends from across the pond come over for a visit or maybe just move here and be done with it. There are jobs here in Saskatchewan you know, lots!!

We ended up doing 21.5 instead of 18km and am I pooped!!! off to have a nap now!
It has been a long few months doing the traing,but i am so proud of Laurie when it is time to get it done especially the long walks she gets all prepared and we just go out and do it,all the time you know that parts of her body are just aching but she keeps on going.In my mind she is an inspiration to the energizer bunny she kicks his butt!!!Great work honey I Love you so much,keep up the good work you are awesome,Love Always and Forever Ernie.
Dave said it ok doing all this training in the cold but it is warm in Italy and will be hotter by the time you get there.
Even so you both put him to shame!!
We are both proud of you both, keep up the good work and will we have the pints on the bar waiting for you when you get here.
Yes it will be hot, but we'll be in shorts and t-shirts, instead of winter parkas, snow boots and toques and mitts. I think we can take the heat! Just so long as that pint is waiting for us!!! See you really soon!!!
