Saturday morning, woke up early to meet my friend Carmel for a 4 mile walk along the bike trail that begins at Schenectady County Community College. It is a well-kept blacktopped trail that has mile markers at 1/4 mile intervals and some great views of the Mohawk River. Generally we walk 2 miles in (there is a cute little yellow building that when I see it, I know means I have made it the 2 miles without checking for the mile markers) and then a 2 mile walk back. We did this in 61 minutes, yeah! This is a great way to get your heart rate up while enjoying beautiful views and of course, doing it with a friend, makes it that much more enjoyable.
Later that morning, after a visit to Latham with friend Julie to pick up a hat for a Saratoga event. I met some fellow members of Junior League of Schenectady and Saratoga Counties at Schenectady County Community College for some packing of backpacks to distribute early in the week to the Schenectady Smart Scholars Students. More details to follow on Monday when we distribute the backpacks to the children.
Those activities were followed up with a fabulous lunch with friends Julie and Carmel at Gershon's Deli on Upper Union Street. Gershon's Deli has been in business since 1954 and wow their seafood salad sandwich was amazing. It is a New York Style Deli right here in town, stop by for lunch and also browse their unique cooking supplies, including sauces from our local Casa Visco company. Julie surprised us both with a KeyLime bar to take home for dessert, WOW, delicious.
Do you have a favorite place you like to walk?
