#100dayproject#100daysofwalking Days 13 to 19 (April 15 to April 21)

Day 13:  Just another Sunday

A far new of the Mountains

I have been in Henderson for nearly 11 years and I still do not know the names of all the mountains that surround the valley.  I should say that I know the names, just cannot figure out which is which.  I do love looking at them.  Today I walked 2.29 miles.  It was a good walk.

Day 14:  Walking my little legs off

Flowers at Green Valley Ranch

More of the neighborhood

One More

Today was my appointment with my medical oncologist.  Dr. Allison is retiring so I am seeing the new doctor Dr. Tibayan.  Seems really nice and is following Dr. Allison's protocol, so I am happy.  Boy did I do a lot of walking.  It is official that I have lost 33 pounds since last June.  Dr. is really pleased.  I will continue to work, on my goal to get healthy.

Resting spot after my walk

Today was an adventure in walking.  I was going to walk from my house to the district, but I have to cross the freeway and one part of that crossing can be a little dangerous, so I decided to take the bus across the freeway and take a nice walk. Part of that walk led me past the small vineyard owned and operated by Green Valley Ranch Casino.  I have seen it from a far and wanted to take a photo of it so off I went.  My adventure led me on a 2.39 miles adventure around the casino campus.  I also walked .27 miles to the bus stop this morning for a total of 2.66 miles today and 6957 steps.  I am enjoying coming up with periodic adventures.

Day 18 - In Front of the Library

Statue of kids playing in a pool

 In the front of the Green Valley Library there are statues of children playing in pools; however, there is never any water in the pool.  One can imagine why the pool remains empty.  Liability Insurance, danger of children jumping in and falling; water preservation in the desert.  Interesting

Sunny day in the desert

Waiting for the bus

Busy day today.  Church, quick run to grocery store for Sunday Church goodies and then a walk around the complex.

Total for week 16.71 miles

Observations:

• So as not to overwhelm myself, I have broken-down this project into 30 day increments.  This sounds a whole lot better than 100 days.
• It is getting easier to walk 2 miles and it is enjoyable
• need to start working out plan for days that the heat is high.
• doctor is pleased that I have started this plan.

Until next week....be healthy my friends.  Pilgrim
