“I beg you, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”

–Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet (1929)

A cool morning hike around the neighborhood and through ,ham and cheese’ and the ‘gulley gulley’ trails for 4.10 miles. I heard a short little rattle in a bush on the side of the trail this morning… my heckles went up on the back of my neck and I put the feet into high gear! 🐍 A second evening hike with Mom and Maggie! This morning at breakfast we decided to a 5k in Tempe in December with the Michael J. Fox Foundation so we started to train together! We did 1.43 miles but mom’s fit bit said 1.92! Whoa 😳 that means my app might not be catching the right mileage? lol 😂 so maybe I’m at 60 miles a already? Oh well, just going to keep using the app. With today’s 2 hikes I have done a total of 45.95 miles completed; 14.05 more to go! Please donate before the 30th to help us reach our goal for the fundraising effort🥰

It was a cool morning to get some miles in with the ole ‘ankle express’ for Parkinson’s research. 4.64 and I will try to get a couple more in tonight with Maggie. Started the hike off with dog tags hanging on a trail marker that said this person loves you! I had a rabbit hang out for a quick photo shoot heading up ‘Hole in The wall trail. There was a portion I didn’t loop back around to complete on Friday so that was my objective today! Mission accomplished! Today I had ear buds in and listened to a Queens
Of music playlist with some Dolly Parton, Adele, Erika Badu, Nora Jones , Gwen Stefani, Amy Winehouse, Stevie Nicks and Joni Mitchell. It was nice hiking with royalty! My earbuds kept falling out… how do people exercise and keep them in? Maggie wanted to sleep in this morning so I went solo. My ankles get so stiff and I just think about daily PD symptoms like dyskinesia, rigidity, internal and external tremors, fatigue and night terrors. My stiff ankles will recover with a bit of tlc so I have nothing to complain about. 36.32 of 60 miles logged for Parkinson’s… more to come. Please donate. So we can reach our goal to find relief for these gentle warriors enduring life with PD right alongside those of us who have no idea…

Maggie and I went out for a hot one today! I had sunscreen on but I’m still pretty pink 😣! We wound our way through the loops within the loops
Of the constellation trail. Maggie loves a bit of bouldering but we took a lot of shade/water/snack breaks! We had a territorial chipmunk give us a piece of his mind and a couple times during resting periods I must have bumped my phone 📱 and put it on pause… so half of the miles aren’t accounted for on my app. I’m guessing it was over 5 but I’ll just count what the app shows. 2.70. We took a trail called ‘Hole
In the wall down the center of the outer loop and then ‘PBMA trail’ to connect with ‘ridgeback trail’ to double back on ‘Hole in the wall’ where I came across my sparkling water I must have left behind on a shade rest. Maggie’s sniffed it and there weren’t any bugs in it so… it was still kinda cold 😂. Pretty day!

Today’s hike was 7.2 miles on the Iron King trail. Long
Stretches of wide trail made me think about its historic significance and the changes from cattle trails to rails. Old rail cars are placed along the length of the trail and sweeping meadows at the base of the shield volcano (Glassford Hill) show the end of the last eruption that is the granite dells. At the end of the Iron King trail it connects to the Peavine trail and someday I will figure out how to ‘ankle express’ across the entire state. Each step makes me think we are getting closer to a cure for Parkinson’s which makes me pick up my pace. Please help me reach my goal for Parkinson’s research and donate.

Today’s hike started with Maggie for 1.62 miles she was over it at that point. So I dropped her off and walked up to the Peavine North trail from my house. It goes and goes and I think it used to go to Flagstaff but family members have hiked it from Perkinsville road in Chino Valley. I was thinking I could walk to Heather and Perry’s if I would have planned it better! Most of the trail that song ‘Wide open spaces’ kept rolling through my head. Next goal is to make It to Perkinsville road and back. I blew out my amazing Keen flip flops I’ve had and hiked with since 2012! Over all it was a pretty day with surprise horses to pet. 8.02 for Parkinson’s research! Great way to wrap up the week.
