frozen feet challenge

I enjoy my daily walks and as an incentive to get outside during these winter months I signed up for The Frozen Feet Challenge offered by a local running store. The challenge was to walk, hike, or run one mile (or more) every day OUTSIDE for 6 weeks (January 13 - February 25). I completed the challenge, through rainy and snowy days, single digit temperatures made even colder with the wind chill factor, and slippery streets. That's the bad stuff. There were lovely days, too, with blue skies and not-so-bad temps. And lucky me, the last week of the Frozen Feet Challenge, was spent in the Sunshine State. 

We stayed with friends who live in Cape Coral 7 and every morning took we took a walk around their neighborhood . Being around water, residents add fun and decorative touches to their homes. One day, the dolphin mailboxes caught my eye. You don't see those in Ohio! What a fun way to celebrate ocean, actually Gulf of Mexico, living.

  1. I am impressed! Much as I enjoy walking, I only venture out in dry weather.

    1. It was a fun challenge. On those days when the weather was icky, my motivation was that it would be a fast walk, just 15-20 minutes.
