I have two milestones this week! First, on the walking front, this week was the last week of Year 3 – we’ve walked a lot of miles since this whole thing started way back when, when it was a 30-day challenge I thought would be a fun, quick thing. This year, we hit 984.7 miles – so close to 1,000 miles! Perhaps Year 4 is the year we finally do hit 1,000 miles.
The second milestone was a writing milestone – I hit 200,000 written words for the year – with about 80 days left in the full writing year. It turns out, at least 500 words per day quickly adds up!

Choppy, checking out pelicans on the river – they are gone again, but it was great to see them out there for a few days.

More congratulations in order for both of you.
Does that equate to 7,000 in “dog miles”?
