I was just wondering if there is anyone in the CDA Idaho area who'd like to start walking the Centennial with me? I'm a fair weather walker..so fair warning! I'm currently in PT for hip abduction rehab so it won't be a marathon race, just general getting in shape thing!

I’m not near you, unfortunately, but love the idea of a walking buddy. I bet an accountability partner would be really good for me too. If you don’t find one right away though I know alot of people tend to walk the malls. (Not sure what the centennial is so forgive me if that’s already your plan). I would assume it’s earlier in the day when it’s less busy but can’t say for sure. I was thinking about doing something like that. Thinking I may meet someone there and we can sync our schedules.

The Centennial is a paved walk that goes along the Spokane river and Lake Coeur d'Alene and then some, its 60+ miles long:

We do have a "mall" but its failing so it would probably work for walking well! I hope you find a walking buddy! I just thought I'd be nice to have a bariatric walking buddy. ?

Oh wow. That sounds beautiful. I’m sure you will find someone to join you, but. I agree It would be nice to have someone that is on a similar journey. My Fingers are crossed you find someone here that’s nearby.

Thank you. I should point out, since I've had it pointed out in another post, that I can appear as uncaring by using humor. So, for anyone in CDA who might be considering my request be aware I tend to laugh and use laughter to deal with struggles - so be prepared! In other words I tend to be a smart arse, but a well intentioned one. ?
