Up and out walking at 7:20.
Today sunrise was at 7:38 again.
The temperature was 32, it was cloudy and windy.
Usually just keep track of my walk with my Striiv pedometer
but today I also used the walking app on my phone.
This is the route I took.
Started out at the green box.
Walked to town, around town, the ball park loop, both cemeteries
and then back home.
I don't enjoy using the walking app on my walk because
I know that it is timing me and I concentrate too much on how far
and fast I'm walking. My walk is much more than just exercise. I like to stop
along the way, take pictures or talk to people I meet.
I used it today because I wanted to get an accurate mile count
on the to town route. It is 6.2 miles. I had reset my Striiv the first of the
year and it seemed to be off a bit. Had to adjust my stride on the Striiv and
now it is accurate again.
Saw a deer walking down to the main road
and noticed some geese have arrived at the little pond in town.
Kathy just getting to town as I was heading out going back home.

We are just tearing through these puzzles.
This one is a 500 piece.
The sun made an appearance this afternoon which sure was nice. ⛅️
Staying around home today.
Got more housework done,
read and knitted.
Went out to Mountain State Brewery and had an oven baked pizza for supper. 🍕

I'm glad you enjoy your walks and don't feel pushed to complete them.
We're having pizza for dinner, too.
...you need to stop and smell the roses or what in life.
I thought of you today as I went for a walk after work. You inspire so many!
I love seeing the geese...we don't have as many around here as we did for a while. I seldom see any fly over the house and for a few years it was a common sight in the fall and spring. I really miss them. Love that puzzle....
Oh, thank you for the map! I've wondered where your new hom is in relation to the town. Now I know.
That is quite the walk you do. Good to see the geese around.
The geese know where the good swimming is.
That is quite a walk. I walk every day, but not quite so far as you. If I walked 6.2 miles,I probably wouldn't be able to do another thing for the rest of the day. I am catching up here and looking back at your posts a couple of days ago, I thought your snowy scene was beautiful. I never realized your part of the country gets so much snowfall. We have had none so far this winter.
Always get inspired by your 6+ mile walks.
I feel the same way about my morning walk.... there's always something to enjoy along the way. Today we had record-breaking rainfall and I was cooped up all day. I really missed my walk.
Happy new year to you <3
I use a walking app. I plot the whole walk on the app. Look at it and imagine I did the walk. Easy.
God bless.
I like that puzzle too. It looks like a doll's house, the way you can see inside. I wondered about your walk - now that you are outside of town, I bet it is longer just to see some of the spots you used to walk daily. You are so good to keep in shape like that.
I've thought about getting a FitBit but I feel a lot like you. I want my walk to be more than just numbers! Plus they are a bit expensive! :) Your 6.2 miles is impressive! Good for you.
Wow...that is a great walk! I don't blame you for not wanting to time it though. Happy Friday!
I think that part of the pleasure of walking is sometimes stopping to admire the view, chat with someone etc.
Looks another good puzzle.
All the best Jan
I think I'd like seeing a map of my walks. I'm such an app chicken, though. I'm glad you stop to smell the roses and talk with people along the way.
