Day 1: 3 miles down, 642 to go

You read that right.  642 miles left to walk! Our 3 mile walk today was just a drop in the bucket. 


I'll have to admit.  I was not very thrilled to go for a walk tonight.  It was cold and wet and just not ideal.  I would have been perfectly content if Andrew came home and said, "Eh, not tonight."  But he surprised me.  He's usually the first one to put anything off until tomorrow.  However, tonight he wanted to walk.  He pretty much told me to quit my whining and go put my tennis shoes on. 

The girls were all too excited to go on another walk.  With her harness on, Lucy knew she would be walking for awhile.  (However, even those long walks don't affect their energy levels.  They both came home and ran around the entire house and are still pacing or playing with toys.)  Before we left, we mapped our walk on MapMyWalk.com.  Once around the new and old part of our neighborhood is about 3 miles, so we lucked out.

3.01 miles to be exact

We've been blessed with nice weather this winter, so I hope Mother Nature won't decide to make up for it as we move in March.  It's really hard to walk when you have two energetic dogs pulling you over ice!  I'm not ashamed to say that my butt has met asphalt a few times this winter due to ice and dog walking.  Fingers crossed that we have clear skies and warmer temperatures (or even just not wind chill) for our next 3 miler on Thursday!  (Oh and did I mention it will be my half birthday?  Just saying :) )
