2019greenwaychallenge

Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society | Mary Ann Shaffer

A beautiful 6 mile walk along the UNCC greenway today! Stopped for a moment of silence in memory of the two victims - both UNCC students - that died in the school shooting two weeks ago today. 😢

Started a new audiobook that is actually a reread, haven‘t watched the movie yet.

Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things | Jenny Lawson

My stress level was high this morning, so I took advantage of the beautiful weather to indulge in some self-care. Hubby and Maya dropped me off at one entrance to the trails, and I met them at the park at the opposite end. It turned into a beautiful family morning, and I also have two more greenways complete! #2019greenwaychallenge #LitsyWalkers

My mind wandered a lot, but this #audiobook seems to work well for that. I guess that‘s a good thing?

Kaye

Kaye Very good ! It looks like springtime in your photos ! 6y

alisiakae Thanks! The daffodils stems are starting to pop up! They usually start to bloom this month. 6y

RealLifeReading Looks lovely! 6y

Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things | Jenny Lawson

Took a much needed break from my reading assignments to go on a long trail walk before lunch! Listened to a few powerful chapters today.

✔️ 3rd greenway complete for my #2019greenwaychallenge! Lots of 🐸 today, & one hawk.

There is a 🏡 along this greenway that used to have a run-down school 🚌 on their property. The bus is gone, but now they have this odd Bigfoot-looking cut out with a No Trespassing sign. Kinda random! 🤷🏻‍♀️🧐 #LitsyWalkers

It is really windy today! 💨 But the ☀️ came out! Took a 3-mile walk on the McDowell Creek greenway before having lunch with the fam at the open-air shopping village adjacent to the greenway.

✔️ another trail for my #2019greenwaychallenge!

And now that‘s done, I‘m settling in to read all afternoon!

alisiakae @Cinfhen Thankfully, the sun came out, or it would have been freezing! 6y

BarkingMadRead Part of that trail runs behind my house!! 6y

alisiakae @BarkingMadRun Wait, really? Do you live in Cornelius? 6y

BarkingMadRead Nah, I actually live on the SC side but the Carolina Thread Trail winds all around NC and SC, and it runs through my neighborhood. I'll have to take a pic and tag you! I live on Twelve Mile Creek 6y

alisiakae @BarkingMadRun There are more than 100 different thread trails! Including all of the Mecklenburg County greenways. I‘m trying to complete all the Meck ones this year, but if I finish early I will be expanding into SC and surrounding counties. 😃 6y

alisiakae @BarkingMadRun All the sections in my area are broken into small pieces about 1-3 miles long. Hopefully some day they will all connect together. 6y

BarkingMadRead That's so cool, I would live to hit them all, I wonder if I could get the husband to do it. I heard that they wanted to connect them, hopefully they do. What a fun trek that would be! 6y

alisiakae @BarkingMadRun I‘m tracking my progress on the Carolina Thread Trail website, which makes it much easier! 6y

Wife 🌹 6y

DarcysMom How cool! I would love to have all those trails to walk on. 6y

A lovely meandering, albeit wet, #audiowalk this morning while Maya was at Hebrew School. I always start at the 🕍, and finish at the local coffee shop on Main St where I met up with hubby.

In some spots, the tallest trees were icy on the top half, it was a neat contrast to look up and see the white tips.

Listened to Part 1 of the tagged book, and love it so far! Reminds me a bit of Gaiman‘s The Graveyard Book. #audiowalk #LitsyWalkers

Kaye

Kaye Beautiful. Love the little bridge. Is this in a park or just a pathway of some type ? And is that a LFL in the top left ? Any books in it ? Great job. Day one is done ✅ 6y

julesG Oh, looks lovely (and just as wet as my walk). 6y

Bklover That‘s so pretty!!! You are amazing- it‘s 11:30am here and I‘m still in my jammies. I‘ll get out there in a bit! 6y

alisiakae @kaye It‘s a greenway (walking/bike path), and yes that is a Free Little Library! Decent book selection, but nothing I wanted to carry away with me for the 2nd half of my walk. 😂 @julesG It is wet! @Bklover My daughter goes to Hebrew school Sunday mornings, so we have to get out kinda early anyway! 6y

Bklover I love that your walk starts at Hebrew school and ends at a coffee shop! Perfect place to end a walk! 6y

tracey38 Nice walk, even though it's wet and cold! 6y

alisiakae @Bklover It is perfect! This route is the perfect length to give me an hour after my walk at Summit Coffee before having to pick her up. 😃 6y

alisiakae @tracey38 Thanks! It‘s not so bad here, I mostly got wet from the ice melting off the tops of the trees. And I had a waterproof coat so I stayed quite dry! 6y

DarcysMom Great walk! 6y

LauraBeth I got accepted to Davidson and was so close to going there 😀 6y

alisiakae @LauraBeth It‘s a pretty campus! A very small school, but the town is cute. 😃 I saw Ta Nehisi-Coates speak on campus a few years ago, and Sonia Sotomayor! They get some excellent speakers. 6y

alisiakae Also tagging with #CarolinaThreadTrail and #2019greenwaychallenge to help me track my greenway audiowalks! #SouthProngRockyRiverGreenway (edited) 6y

BeansPage Such a pretty walk 😍 6y

CouronneDhiver What app is that? 6y

alisiakae @CouronneDhiver It‘s MapMyHike 6y

alisiakae @TheReadingMermaid This pic was right before the construction zone. 😂 6y
