CBWC April 2026: Week 3

 It's Cool Bloggers Walking Club (CBWC) time! Hosted by Elisabeth, we're trying for ten minutes of intentional movement every day.

The story of CBWC this week is that it was raining/storming/tornadoing almost every night. I live in a river town and there's a lot of flooding.

Wednesday, April 15
41 minutes with Hannah this morning on a drippy morning - I wore flip flops
39 minutes this afternoon on an overcast day in the high 60s - I wore sandals

Thursday, April 16
27 minutes with Hannah on yet another drippy morning - I wore my winter boots mostly because they're waterproof and it's cold again
36 minutes this afternoon with Hannah after work
This is the riverwalk. Those stairs normally lead down to a sidewalk along the river. Now it's just river.


Friday, April 17
37 minutes with Hannah in the morning - It is glorious, but rain is forecast to be starting around 2, so we're enjoying our time outside while we can

Way back there on the right is the road I usually take to work. My guess is that I won't take this road again until summer.


Saturday, April 28
47 minutes with Hannah in the morning - Our house is safe, but almost all of our walking paths are flooded
31 minutes with Hannah and Dr. BB after lunch
12 minutes with Hannah around the block before bed

The building and entire parking lot of our nearby park are flooded. 

Sunday, April 19
37 minutes with Hannah this morning - the forecast said it might snow! It did not, but that gives you an idea of the temperature
20 minutes after lunch with Hannah and Dr. BB
17 minutes with Hannah before bed



Monday, April 20
40 minute walk with Hannah in the morning - it was so cold
52 minute walk with Hannah after work - Okay, fine. Hannah did a lot of  laying around and stick chewing, if I'm honest. But we walked around checking out the flooding situation.
13 minute walk with Hannah before bed

The sunrise this morning was spectacular.


Tuesday, April 21
40 minute walk with Hannah in the morning - What a beautiful morning!
27 minute walk with Hannah when I got home from work
20 minute walk with Hannah before bed

I don't usually talk about my workouts in CBWC updates, but today we did our fitness class outside and these dudes in a canoe wandered by where the riverwalk usually is. I took their photo and he shouted his phone number at me. When I sent it to him, he sent us a bunch of photos he took. It was such a small town moment.



This is the road I usually take to work.

This is the riverwalk.

Has anyone ever shouted their number to you from a canoe? What's your favorite of the flood photos?

  1. I love the POV shots from the canoe. There's something about being able to take a boat in a place where you normally can't. Last summer we had a huge rainstorm and there was just enough water in the street that Hubs was able to take his kayak out. Thankfully we did not get flooding.

  2. That’s a lot of ‘flooding’. We just have some ponding in the park.
