AN ECLECTIC VILLAGE LOCAL EDITION
A WALK FOR HEART HEALTH
Linda Walker, Victoria Whelchel, Lana Cochrun, Maryann Grau
They called it a "challenge walk." It was a challenge they met, easily and with purpose.
The four Cambria women are part of a group of friends who meet for a walk and then coffee twice a week. They began to discuss a walk from from Cambria to San Simeon during lunch last Friday. Today, they set off from Leffingwell Landing on the north end of Moonstone Beach at 9:00 AM. Their friends who gathered at Lilly's Coffee deck speculated as to how the walkers were doing on their almost 7 mile journey.
They followed the famous Highway 1, the Pacific Coast Highway. The temperature started in the 50's and warmed into the low 60's as they made the 6.8 mile walk.

The women opted to wear red, to signify Women's Heart Health Day. Nature also provided color and beauty.
As their coffee drinking pals speculated about when they would arrive in San Simeon,
Linda, Victoria, Maryann and Lana made rapid progress.
The foursome arrived at the Sebastien Store at 10:55, even before Abby had opened the deck for lunch.
Yvonne and Mark Kantor, who joined the trek along the route, and Jim Bergren joined us for lunch. We were soon joined by more of our Cambria "Friday lunch flash mob" for our usual palaver and good cheer.
As the walkers were driven home, south along the coast, they commented, variously, on sore gluts, upper thighs or bottom of the feet, but were already discussing the next challenge walk. Another one that ends near a restaurant. Village life is good.
COMING TOMORROW TO THE WEEKENDER :)

See you down the trail.
I just came across this site.
ReplyDeleteWe share an interest in the Balboa Park and Hillcrest area of San Diego. See you in church or hiking.
Jim-
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoy the site. It is fun to do.
We were out of town or it has been raining--we'll be in Carmel this wednesday-but one of these wednesdays we'll go climb that hill.
You guys sounded good this morning. Meant to see you but we had to get over to the class and missed you. Thanks
Tom --I climbed Monday.... 9 holes at Sea Pines. A terrific amount of energy goes into following the wayward shots. The elixir at the clubhouse following the round is a highlight.
