It was 78° for our Day 653 walk in Key West. The next day, back home, it was 0° for the morning walk. That’s just a cruel, cruel temperature difference.
On the plus side, we did hit a milestone this week – at 730 miles for the year, we officially averaged two miles every day for the year. As averaging two miles per day was a goal for Year 2 of the Dog Walk Challenge, it feels good to know we’ll hit that mark (and every mile now just adds to the average miles we walk each day!). The year turns over on May 1, so we have plenty of time to keep that average daily mileage well above two miles per day.

Nice shadow picture of Choppy. Congrats on your milestone. Your weather seems to go from one extreme to another like ours. Hugs

Thanks – and the weather really does vary day-to-day around here, particularly in spring and fall, plus some parts of winter. At least our summers tend to be pretty similar on a day-to-day basis.

Long shadows and dirty snowbanks… still winter, but not for long!

This morning our normal walking path was almost entirely free of ice and snow. It was so nice not to have to worry about taking a tumble (though Choppy somehow managed to do so on what little ice there was left).

Our high today was 63 – it was blissful. But back to winter we go. It was a nice respite while it lasted.

That sounds amazing. We didn’t get those warm temperatures (though we were OK with our 40 degree day – that was as warm as we got).

I wish! I’d have to give up some of the wine drinking to get there. Choppy, on the other hand, is actually in much better shape than when we started this whole thing.

That’s for sure. Especially when you see how nice she is to some people (see: those in Key West) and how mean she is to others (see: those of us in Wisconsin).
