Extravayarnza

So,
I've noticed that Robin & I have been out and walking pretty much everyday. Out of curiosity I plugged some of our daily routes into Google's Pedometer & was quite surprised! Even our 'short day' route is easily a mile. If we head out to the Northern Tier trail like yesterday we usually walk 2-3 miles. I kept telling my Mom that it was further than she thought, now I have the proof!
I found out today that Runagogo is going to have another round. I didn't do the first one because MI is miserable in the winter & I just don't get on the treadmill as much as I'd like. However, 100 mi before July 4th sounds totally doable. I won't be running though, Robin & I walk. I may toss some biking in there to, but I feel I might not be biking as much as other years because I can't easily bring Robin when I bike.
So, I think this is the year for me to loose some weight. I think getting back down to 120 might be wishful thinking, but maybe 125-130 would be possible. Between walking everyday & Belly dancing I already feel better than I have in years. Anyone else care to join me?

The next round of Runagogo doesn't start till April 1st so you go sign up!

Robin learned a few lessons today.

1~ Mud is a totally terrifically wonderful thing. Lots of fun to jump in, then jump on mom, then splash in. The ideally everyone should be coated in mud up to their belly...

That goes for you too mom!

2~Unfortually muddy paws/feet/clothing all needs to be washed asap when we get home. Yep, that means a bath for puppies...

We ended up really exploring & going off the paved path tonight. A total of 3.25 miles!

The paths through the woods looked quite dry initially. Later on we found 10-20 foot sections that were quite deep with mud & standing water. There was no going around it, you have to go through it...
Robin was feeling particularly photogenic tonight. You can visit my flickr page for even more photos from tonight.
