Day 58 122813

Getting in another walk to take advantage of the weather before winter turns harsh again tomorrow. It was also the first consecutive days and first multi-mile walk since I rebooted to this. I wanted to get the walk in before lunch and enjoyed the warmth of the sun. I was mindful to pace myself to start out since I was doubling what I had been doing. Plus the second half of the route adds a third hill. One nice surprise was on the additional route they replaced the sidewalk on three stretches with new concrete so that made for slightly improved terrain. I was surprised how much I picked up the pace on the return because I did the first mile in 30 minutes and the second in 24 minutes. It was a good way to end this year and get a jump on the next. A positive experience to build on.

Day 56 121713

Today was the first post Thanksgiving walk and my first since I turned 47. There is a little warm front before winter returns full force at the end of the week. It was 41 when I started for home but the temp had fallen to 37 by the time I started walking. It had been more than a week since the last snow but I still had to navigate a couple poorly shoveled walks. Dealing with the terrain did slow me down a bit. Or maybe it was the extra weight from Thanksgiving and my birthday cup cakes.
