Short Hills & Wii Fit

I am fortunate to have a wonderful support system, among them my sisters Bernita and Barbara.

Bernita  & Roxy have a couple of great little trails that they enjoy almost daily.   They are already racking up the km for our journey!     You can check out the 12 mile creek trail by clicking here.


Short Hills is another amazing place in the Niagara Region that Roxy and Bernita like to spend time at.   There are several hikes to be had.  Check out Shorhills by clicking here.

The weather around here was insanely windy, blustery, and blistery the first two days, so I dusted off my wii fit.  I hadn't used it in three years, and the first thing it did was remind me of that!  lol

This is a very old system, but it is working like a charm for me.   Mind you, Miss Wii is a bit of smarty pants.    The second thing I did was a fitness test and this is what she had to say about that:


Yet, I have no problem steering a dragon boat!   This just goes to show you that you don't have to have great balance to be a steers.

A little bit of a warm-up and off I went for a 30 minute run.   This works great for me.  If you know me, you know I can't do high impact exercises due to degenerative disc disease and a crushed sciatic nerve from 18 years ago rendered my left foot very challenged.   BUT, I can run on the spot and that's all wii fit needs me to do.



Woo Hooo  5.406 miles!  That's 8.7 kilometers!   What a strong start to my day!    
This journey is exactly what I needed to light a fire under my butt!  Thanks TEAM!!!

    Never knew you had a balance challenge at any point in time. Just don't go for a dip when steering...lol.

Saying hello to the boats!

Image
 Missing our team in these dragonboats so I decided to cycle over to say hello to our friends better known as "Green boat", "Blue boat" and our beloved "Jackie Harper boat" that was dedicated in Jackie Harper's memory. I also am dreaming about being back on the water at some point. Go away Covid! We will have 2 brand new dragonboats to add to our existing inventory, which means more people joining us. Build it and they will come! Ann M.

Inverness, Nova Scotia

 On our journey this week we’ll depart Newfoundland at Channel-Port aux Basques and cross over the water to reach Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Two of my active walker supporters Joan and Doug have a son and future daughter-in-law that just moved to Inverness this summer on the Cape. So what a great opportunity to stop by in Inverness to say hello and check out this very pretty town!

Parker's Wonderland

Image
 On making my way up to Canada's Wonderland, I got detoured today. The sign says Parker's Wonderland! What's up here? Found this little gem of a place on our cycle today. It's on River Rd along the Welland River. The sign intrigues me. I can see a railway crossing sign complete with crossing lights further on the property.  This is all adorned on a residential property.  Guessing maybe the homeowner is a retired train conductor or just a super train enthusiast or??? I'd love to know more. Anybody know anything on Parker's Wonderland?
