  • Try Walk

    The 23rd トライウオーク (Try Walk) was today.  This year's 11 km course meandered around the countryside in the Nota area of Kashiwazaki.  It was a picture perfect day for a long walk.  This was our 1st time doing the Try Walk and it was extra special because they allowed Joshy to participate, too.  I think the girls would have GLADLY stayed home with him, but it was a nice family outing, at least I think so ;)    The walk will count toward P.E. credit ;)  It was a good healthy adventure :) And, LORD willing, it will open doors for other special needs persons to participate in future community activities :D

    Here is the walk in a nut shell.

    Let's GO...

    We had to skirt around the main entrance because of the steps.  In the end because of the narrowness of the path, I ended up waiting with Joshy while Jerry back tracked to get our papers stamped.  It was at about this point that the girls got ahead of us.  They ended up finishing the walk about 30 minutes before we made it.

    Check point 4 and GOAL...

    At about the half way point there was a nice little place to stop, rest, & have something to drink - ice cold from being chilled in the river!

    The girls take on the walk: "We are never doing this again!"

    We will see :D

  • That looks like a long walk! Maybe I would have sounded like your girls. :-)

    • It was 11km / 6.9 miles, so it was a long walk :) We are all limping around this evening.
