Walk This Way After walking Edgewater Drive yesterday afternoon on a beautiful sunny day, I was back at it this morning on a gloomy rainy morning. I jogged back over to the section of Edgewater Drive just east of Lakewood Park and found Edgewater Lane heading off to the north about a half mile from…

An Easter to Remember After an inspiring Easter Service at Church and a gluttonous Easter Brunch, I was excited to head out for my walk down Edgewater (my HOME street). To my delight, several family members joined me on the first half of my walk. My sister, her daughter, an exchange student from Poland, my…

Mr. A to Z When I left the house this morning for my jog/walk I felt like I was missing something. Sure enough, when I looked down I realized I forgot to put on my “Lakewood A to Z” shirt. My friend Gary at Ryko Sports was kind enough to make and donate the shirt,…

From Sea to Shining Sea Walking across all of Lakewood on Detroit Avenue today felt like crossing the United States of America. I’ve heard many people say you should drive across our country at least once – well I would challenge all residents of Lakewood to walk across our city on Detroit Avenue at least…

The Office One of my favorite TV shows of all time is The Office. If I am ever channel surfing and come across a block of Office episodes, I am apt to stop and watch at least three of them. So today I was excited to get to walk down Delaware – the street where…

Deja Vu This is my 25th year living in Lakewood, and up until a week ago I had never been on Coutant. Now I’ve been down the street twice in the last few days. The only way you can get to Davis is by way of Coutant. It is a small side street heading west…

The Beat Goes On I do feel like I am making some progress. In addition to being 22% of the way through my challenge, I passed 200 total miles traveled today. I am also at 19% of my fundraising goal. I’m right on pace of where I wanted to be. However, on a cold winter…
