Reconnaissance... for the marathon walkers of TNT



The call came... and I accepted.

We met at Rockefeller State Park to discover whether the setting was a good site for future Team in Training walks. Ferrel, Luciana, and I started the rather steep climb to the walking path and immediately became enveloped in the greenery. It was a spring wonderland... sunshine peeking through the trees, beautiful shades of green, a sense of quiet - almost a stillness.

We walked over hill and dale, encountering a few walkers, and many cows! The cows were absolutely adorable and moved toward us - though you can see the calf was wary... hoping for food, though we had none to share. We walked over 4 miles this morning and agreed that it was a charming walk...perhaps to be tackled midway through training, as the trail provided some nice hills.

Mission accomplished we headed home... all of us excited to be starting the new season.
