Wearing Out Shoes!

This is Paul writing on behalf of Denise (she's not been able to find a wifi connection for a while). This week Denise realized that the four pairs of running shoes she was walking with were worn out. On returning to Winnipeg on Wednesday, they made a visit to the Running Room Store. Denise picked up two new pairs of Asics Gel-Kayanos. She was able to get a 20% discount with a Vector cereal box coupon. This saved her $80! Running shoes don't seem to last as long as radial tires. I'm guessing she got about 750 kms per pair of shoes.

They are gaining some kilometers above the planned walking log due to the fact that she walked through Winnipeg rather than around it on the Perimeter Road. She has also been adding two extra kilometers to her daily total of 30. The reason for this change is that she would like to take an extra day in Caronport, SK. to visit with our grandchildren (and daughter & son-in-law).

Denise has been enjoying all the encouragement from the prairie drivers. She said they are alot more expressive with their honking greetings than the Ontario travellers.
