Twelve: Coach Kambestad Memorial Mile

 On Tuesday, June 18, I attended my 12th walk--the second annual Coach Kambestad Memorial Mile. This year it was held at Sioux Park in Rapid City.

 That's my friend Bobbie Kambestad in the green jacket. I met her at last year's first walk in honor of her husband. Evidently our paths were destined to cross. This August we will travel together on a mission trip to Honduras.

 This year's crowd was much bigger than last year's. The rain stopped just in time for the first race to begin and held off until we were done. I am one-fifth of the way to my goal and ready to begin the next leg. Hope you can join me on June 29th at the Tom Pfeifle 5K!

Eleven: ALS 2019

 On June 15, I joined the Wicks family for the Annual ALS Walk in Rapid City. It was a beautiful, sunny Saturday morning.

         



 Mayor Steve Allender welcomed the crowd.









 Amy and her mom got geared up for the walk.

Due to wet weather, the creek was too high for the regular path. We followed the sidewalk and looped back to where we started. I missed my walking partners from last year, Conner and Kaye, but Travis and I had a good visit while we walked.

June is filled with chances to walk, and I am taking advantage of it. Tuesday, June 18, is the 2nd Annual Coach K Memorial Mile. Saturday, June 29 is the Tom Pfeifle 5K. Maybe I'll see you at one!

Ten: Walk for Wishes

May 18, 2019, brought my first repeat walk at the 2019 Walk for Wishes. I missed last year's walking partner, Peggy, who was busy celebrating a 1st birthday with her granddaughter. And since I had a meeting scheduled at the same time as the walk, I did the walk early...by myself...in the rain:-)

 The path through downtown was marked with posters and presidents.

With the Walk for Wishes, I made it into double digits and one-sixth of the way to my goal. I'm right on track to make sixty walks by the time I turn sixty. Hope to see you at the next one: ALS June 15, Coach K Memorial Mile June 18
