On Saturday a group of us snowshoed through the bush for 18km near Postill Lake. We were glad to meet a group of 10 people on snowmobiles who helped point us in the right direction when we took a few "out of the way" excursions in very deep snow. And yes, we did have a map and a compass.
Today, on Day 21 of my consecutive running days, I decided that I will donate $5 for every day that I run, to a charity. My first $100 donation (first 20 days) is going to a local food bank. It will be interesting to see if I give more finances to charities this year than I did in previous years.
About Me
- FaithywaithyKelowna
- Kelowna, BC
- I started out as the fastest long distance runner in my Junior High School and continued into Senior High with many accomplishments. While living in the Yukon as a family we did more hiking and canoeing than running. About 12 years ago I began to consistently run five days a week. So far I have completed 5 full marathons and over 20 half marathons. At the age of 51 I ran my first solo ultramarathon(85km) to raise money for an orphanage in Africa. I am actively involved in two local hiking clubs.
