Day 255, Friday, November 7, 2008

Warmer today, misting more than raining. Pup and I did our morning walk. It was so busy at work this morning I actually got quite a few steps. Every time I sat down, the phone rang (it's half way across the room.) Another Brody walk just before dark, making 4.51 miles for the day.

I guess I'm somewhere between Tom Floyd Wayside and Front Royal, Virginia, so here's a photo of Front Royal to give a sense of place.

Day 254, Thursday November 6

I think it's winter. COLD for the morning walk. Add wind for the noon walk. Add snow for the evening walk. 5.5 miles for the day.

Day 253, Wednesday November 5

Well tried to ride the bike, but my knee was feeling too sore, so just did Pilates and weights today. Evening walk with Bonnie (just beat the rain) 1.5 miles. Hopefully rain will let up for noon run today.

Day 252, Tuesday November 4

While I was trying to decide to crawl out of bed this morning, the rain was seriously pelting down. But by the time I dragged my carcass (and the dog's) out the door, it was only drizzling, so we did our full walk to the irrigation channel and back.

It was also misting at noon, but I walked half an hour. Then Jim and Brody and I walked after work. Pretty much full dark by the time we get home. All that added up to 5.37 miles.

AT: 925.74 (no, I haven't looked lately either to see where I am!)

Day 250, Monday, November3

Yesterday I did the morning walk with the pup in the rain. Great fun! But later on, after church, it stopped raining and Jim and I dragged our bodies out to a new section of the river dike we hadn't hiked before. It was very nice and the autumn colors vivid. I even saw the flip of a white-tail deer before Jim did, but we never got a good enough view to take its photo. 5.92 miles.

Today I walked Brody first thing, then we all three walked after work. 3.18 miles.

Day 249, Sunday November 2

Today we went to the wildlife refuge down the road and climbed a hill instead of walking around the pond. 3 miles, beautiful fall weather, late colors and peace and quiet. We didn't see anybody else the whole time.

Day 248, Saturday November 1

Beautiful fall day, high in the mid 50's and a good amount of sun. Walked around the pond with Bonnie 2.5 miles, then mowed the lawn 2 miles. Finally a 1.5 mile walk with Bonnie in the evening.

Now only 6 pounds to loose from the vacation :(
