Week of October 5

The last time I posted, it was Monday, October 5. On Tuesday, we did walk. I started the walk without Dan because he had to work late. When he met me, I was 3/4 the way through the walk. We finished the walk together before it started to rain. On Wednesday, we walked down the road to Kohl's. It is about 2 miles. Wednesday was to be a rest day, but I figured a shorter walk would be good, plus Dan needed some items to walk in the upcoming cold. Making sure we have the appropriate clothing to walk in the cold weather is so important. There is no wimping out now because it is too cold. Thursday was our rest day, so we did not walk, but Dan did bowl.

Friday morning early we headed out to meet friends (that we know from NWMC) in Holland, MI. Needless to say it rained the whole way and was still raining when we arrived. We could not walk, due to not bringing appropriate rain gear. We ended up driving around for a few hours before being able to check into our hotel. When our friends finally arrived, we went into downtown Holland and did some window shopping. Yes, in the rain. At least it was only drizzling then.

On Saturday morning, we all drove to Grand Rapids, MI and walked around the outside art show and downtown Grand Rapids. Of course, this was after we finally found parking and I thought parking downtown Milwaukee was bad. After saying our good byes, friends headed back to Detroit, MI and Dan and I headed back to the hotel in Holland. The weather was still good, so Dan and I took this opportunity to walk around a small area of Holland to get our training in.

After this, we decided to see a movie (Couples Retreat) and take some time to relax. It was a good weekend with friends.
