Mary here. I headed out early this morning to beat the snow and managed to log a 30 km training walk before the flakes started flying! Bonus? I was testing out my new sneakers—and they passed with flying colours. No blisters too big to handle, no regrets. Just me, my stick, and the road. See…

Mary here. On my walk today, I spotted these snowdrops—one of the first flowers to bloom in early spring. In a landscape still brown and bare, these tiny white flowers stand out, reminding us that new beginnings are always possible.

Every journey needs direction. Today, my walking stick’s compass kept me focused as I walked.
