Videos by The Nordic Walking Queen. Empowering your walk with Nordic Walking Poles
I am so blessed and so thankful today. In 1985 Gail Menke and I began stepping outside at 5:30 am to greet the day and walk together. It was the only time of day In our busy working lives that we could claim for ourselves. We walked year round, sometimes snowshoeing in the marsh, added Nordic Walking poles in 2005, supported and celebrated each other and the lives around us. She moved and drove over in the morning to walk, I moved and we got together when we could to take a walk, then she moved again to a home 1/2 mile from me and we were walking buddies once again in the early morning hours. Today was the last day of early mornings, Gail is finally retiring and we will be able to have coffee and then our walk. I’m so grateful for all the miles, all the years, all the stories and worries shared, all the hugs❤️ thank you my dear friend and I’ll see you in the morning, just not so early!
