After 84 minutes at 2.5 mph at a 3.5 incline – I increased the speed to 2.7 … To readers saying to themselves – you are on a treadmill writing for Walkation … !??? Whats up with that? And where you been? And other assorted *stuff* … I wrote a blog post at BlogZup and can be found by clicking this here link 
I am not sure what will become of Walkation … LOL!!! Not sure about many things – but I do know the Power of NOW! is awesome.
I have been eating a LOT of garlic of late I love garlic – my mindset is you can never eat too much garlic … but as I am beginning to sweat – I am so very glad my dear husband loves me BUT as the no see ‘ums are out – I am GLAD I have eaten so much garlic – as there ain’t no bugs on me.
My treadmill desk is in the garage. I have the garage door open and a light breeze is keeping the garage bearable. I do so miss walking the open road and maybe one day I will be able to get back to that – but I must say my treadmill desk is a WONDERFUL way to get my exercise AND be productive
Once this blog has been posted I will continue over to GoalBuzz I have now walked a total of 99 minutes – the last 15 at 2.7 mph (the previous 84 were at 2.5) On GoalBuzz I will list the … NOTE to self – Treadmill currently stops at 100 minutes … restart … On GoalBuzz I will list the goals I see for the near future and beyond and then using the Power of NOW! I will be in the moment of every wonderful / wonderfilled moment along the road of life I feel as though I am on the verge of my endorphins kicking in YAY!!! Gotta love them endorphins
The treadmill shows I’ve burned 726 calories – but my body tells me I feel GREAT!!! That is the bad thing about starting a new work out regiment (I’ve been sedentary too long to kid myself into thinking I’m doing anything other than that ) It feels so good while doing it – we have a tendency to overdo 
LOL!!! I just had a thought – I could drink a beer while doing this LOL!!! Yep endorphins onboard. So what will I close this post up with? I’m thinking about what I will write over on GoalBuzz … but that’sot helping me here – other than to give me more words to write that I don’t know what to write.
One thing – I may need to go back to the 2.5 mph as I am making a LOT of typos
I think I will hang between blog posts (I have an inversion table) so far I’ve walked 114 minutes total and I feel three inches shorter than when I began this days walkation. I think I’ll post at the two hour mark and s-t-r-e-t-c-h THAT sounds like a plan that can be part of my GoalBuzz posting for the day.
Once again up and about before 6am with NO alarm clock (goal is 5am ish) WHOOO HOOO!!! The power of the mind(?) is an AWESOMELY Wonderful Thing ~ Please use yours to your fullest extent.
Today’s choice of Walkation took me three miles onto the Pinellas Trail. The Pinellas Trail *ends* at mile marker number 34, before entering the walking, running, bike, tunnel under US 19 in Tarpon Springs.
Even along the Tarpon Springs Pinellas trail there were several available properties for rest and or sale. Two of which made me go … ooohhhh … good location each, for an entity called Ideas is it time to Do it Now? There is also two MORE locations for sale that would make great locations for WeekendFarms
... and … back to Walkation 
I figure today’s walk was a good 10 miles. Walking the marked miles I did a constant 15 minute mile. Except on the way back – mile marker 31 back to 32 I PUSHED it (I mean sweat dripping from my hair down my back push it) WHOOO HOOO!!! 12 minute mile WHOOOOO HOOOO!!! Endorphin RUSH!
Ok – athlete’s and true power walkers – no big deal you say YAY!!! YOU!!! For me … YAY!!! ME!!!
What an AWESOME WOW Walk!
Lot’s of people enjoying the trail today. A wonderful thing about the trail through Tarpon Springs (other than the roads one must cross ) is much of the trail is in the shade except for the high sun time of day.
Mile marker 31 is on the north side of Klosterman. It is at that point I turned around today. One day I WILL walk the entire 34 miles Yep I sure will … I’ll end up staying somewhere along the way for a day or two before heading back – but YEP … I WILL walk the entire 34 miles… Oh MAN I so look forward to that!
That got me to thinking about the businesses along the Pinellas Trail. What kind are there? Where are they? Do they cater to the trail or is the trail a nuisance? So many questions. So many opportunities. So MANY Possibilities.
Pinellas Trail Guide
I am thinking to create a page with Walkation Resource Links … maybe yes … but will I follow thru … now that is a question to ponder
What a GLORIOUS day!!!
Have a MOST Excellent and Awesome Sunday!
This mornings walk began with the decision last night to walk early but NOT set the alarm clock.
Going to bed last night, I told my self how many hours (and a half) I had until I wanted to be up to walk first thing. I woke at 1:40am – told my self how much longer I had to sleep. Woke again at 4:30am – told my self how much longer could I sleep … at 5:05 am my self started in …
… get-up, get-up, get-up …
I tried to stay abed – but my self was like a child the morning of something she had looked forward to for so very long, and now it WAS TIME … get-up, get up, get-up ….
DRAT ~ LOL!!! Ok – not drat … YAY!!!
This mornings walkation lasted three glorious hours. The walk was approximately 10 miles. The weather was absolutely fantastic (early morning walkations are the best during the summer months). Walking from home to the Sponge Docks, to Spring Bayou, back up Tarpon Avenue, Shell Station, and back home, I stopped several times to take pictures and video, I will upload them (probably) this evening
Tomorrow I am telling My Self *Get Up Earlier* WHOOO HOOOO!
Oops – spaced writing about yesterday’s Walkation ~ another fantastic two and a half hours … and AL Anderson Park again.
This time I walked the entire park (the roads – not trails – that’s for another time )
Did you know there is a recycling point in the park? Over by the boat ramp … YAY!!! More on this on AncloteRiverWatch.com (when I get to that — focus, focus, focus) and maybe TheRiverWatcher.com as well.
Yesterday’s Walkation approximately 8 miles.
I walked earlier today, I thought I would miss the heat of the day ~ it wasn’t early enough … I think if I shall continue this through the summer ~ I better be back to base before the temp starts hitting 90 …
Today the county had Department of Corrections out on the strip of land bordering The Land They were laying sod (I don’t know why sod is being laid when we are still in a drought … but … whatever … ?) and they also cut back the vines encroaching on the narrow sidewalk between The Land and the start of the Pinellas Trail.
I will endeavor to take my camera with me tomorrow ~ My goal – change the rotating pictures each day I walk …
Any way ~ Today’s walkation I stood at the trail head of the Pinellas Trail and decided my goal was the Sponge Docks, then down Pinellas Avenue (Alt 19) to Tarpon Avenue, across US 19 to the Shell Station (Thank GOODNESS for the COLD Zephyrhills water 2 for $2.00 instead of 3 for $3.00 would be better for me … but … what ever … water GOOD then back on to home.
Walking Dodecanese (Sponge Docks – Tarpon Springs Florida) I thought it has been a while since I’ve been here – but sitting in my office writing this, I realized it was only a couple of weeks since I’ve been down to our Sponge Docks Destination Location.
The face of the Sponge Docks is changing. There are a LOT of available store fronts sadness )-: But that DOES open the way for new … however *new* does NOT always (or even usually) mean better. In fact *new* can be downright not good (and so Coke Classic was *born* but change in inevitable so let’s make it GOOD (or even excellent!) change ~ but that is each our own choice)
Phone numbers for available properties on the sponge docks: {727-487-3638} ~ {727-365-8793} ~ {305-477-0016}
Phone numbers for properties on Tarpon Avenue {727-938-2933} ~ { 727-937-1516 } ~ { 727-937-6000 }
So ~ today’s walk … Whoa … walk earlier – two waters … don’t do more until current level ~ levels out
The Sponge Docks are location one for starting my work on AncloteRiverWatch.com
I oopsed and didn’t post yesterday. So I will Do It Now
The endorphins were in high gear during yesterdays Walkation.
Walking again to AL Anderson Park, I walked straight there. Using the same two and a half-ish hours, but not waiting to cross US 19 twice and going to K-Mart gave me time to walkation partially through the park. My goodness what a glorious park.
On the way back … the cemetery beckoned … around two sides I walked. Then turned and retraced my steps (the road doesn’t go around the cemetery) several places called out to stop and breathe deeply … angels everywhere. As I cut through the Shell Station lot – the lands lotto ticket called out … (COME & Get Me … oh yea wanna win gotta play Besides, Charlie is counting on us paying our lottery tax.
Imagine … reading my “The Land Won the Lottery” blog
I will start taking my camera again soon. Pictures to follow once I do. It is an amazing place this Tarpon Springs. I wonder how many awesome and wonderful places there are around where you may walkation.
What will the future reveal? Who will be the winner? Can we all be winners? What possibilites are there when you know you win at what you do … and by learning and growing in all one does, we all win.
Today’s walk took two and half hours, but I did go to the Shell station, K-Mart, cross US 19 and Tarpon Avenue twice, AND of course stop on the bridge over the Anclote River and breathe in the appreciation of this great Universe … but … WHOA!!!
Home to AL Anderson Park and back. Total distance is just over 6.5 miles.
During my walks, the gratitude I feel for everything; from my loved ones, to my very life, and all the wonders of everything in between – no beginning or end, but ever evolving … ideas take wing … However, do they remain in an EnchantedFairyTale.com (going to see what I have there … cheese & rice … I gotta a LOT of work to do) or do they burst forth with a Mission – such as DeadlyTraffic.com (shoot – gosh that’s a poor choice words)-: that needs updating as well)
LOL!!!
Well … that was part of today’s journey … ACTion … and being dedicated to ACT when called to do so.
Tomorrow I begin creating AncloteRiverWatch.com focusing it on the businesses(?) in the area. LOL!!! Looking through my Alice in Wonderland domains — I feel the word Domainager will mean a person who purchases domain names for business(?) … hmmm…. Life Development. And since Domainager.com is another of the portfolio names ….
So basically two and half hours of how to Pay it Forward ~ and spread the virus of Imagination now to skip the rock and send out a ripple …
Every journey begins with the first step. The only constant is that of change. The only way to know the future is to create it.
Today Walkation begins anew an Angel walks with me I’ve named this confidence *Angel* ~ being as angels are universally understood to be beings of protection, direction, love and light. When an angel is on duty, no harm may come and only miracles sprinkle the sidewalk.
Today my walk took me to the Shell station at the corner of Tarpon and US 19.
I bought a ticket for the Florida Lotto ~ Wanna win, gotta play Besides ~ how can I walk past The Land (DeadlyTraffic.com) and not buy a ticket to give The Universe the avenue of just buying The Land … LOL!!! Works for me and Weporting (one of my domain names) for DUTY
Another thought I had while walking ~ So Suite ~ I wondered rather a winning ticket would be enough to purchase and fund the land, the old Days Inn and maybe even Anclote Bend … and a few other things …
Tarpon Springs Florida is so beautiful and there is SO very, very much potential here ~ BUT ~ *Development* is NOT the answer. Tarpon Springs Florida is a light center of the world (I feel) but this needs to be written for another blog. Just know however ~ Tarpon Springs Florida is a Destination Location DO NOT Slash and Build ~ Nurture and Grow.
LOL!!! Endorphins ROCK ~ Looking forward to tomorrow’s Walkation.
… Do what makes you happy … Thank you Scott
Be vigilant. Have and use the security available. Do what it is you do ~ Be Happy.
Only through being true to our self and opening our hearts to ALL the options available through the actions and reactions of all the wonders occurring in and around (Y)our world … will that which WE draw to us come unfettered (Evie speaks in riddle again ) Evie will walk today, weather permitting.
Where will she walk?
When will she walk?
This can only be listed AFTER the walk due to a person with an agenda that is meant to harm others (”I will shoot & Kill” and “I am going to use Deadly Force” ~ Especially when one of those he means to do this to is ME.)
Choose~Choice~Choices~Who decides what YOU shall do? Only YOU … the only FORCE one can be – is the one that makes one do what one CHOOSES to DO … and THAT force is YOU.
I was *forced* to … WAH … Big freaking BULLY
Even my dearling husband can’t FORCE me to stay in the house and hide from you.
YOU CHOOSE TO DO what you DO AND what you do NOT.
http://insideedition.com/news.aspx?storyId=2989 – Is this the act of a terrorist?
I think so ~ My guts twist like alien is ready to be born (really grotesque creature pops out of Sigourney Weaver’s belly ). My eye’s leak very easily when this topic comes up. I tremble like a china plate on a shelf in San Fransisco that infamous morning April 18th 1906 5:12 am … when this is over will I lay broken and shattered, like trash after someone partied a little too much … ?
Choice ~ The Final Frontier
Currently on hiatus from walking and WAY NOT liking it.
Researching my options.
Choices ~ Choices ~ Choices ~*~They are EVERY Where ~*~ Like Miracles & Motorcycles.
PLEASE Check Back Daily ~ Can she walk LOL!!! Well, I CAN ~ but is it a SMART thing to do?
