New milestone!

SIXTEEN MINUTE mile!!! Omigosh, this is huge.

When I started this venture, way back in February, I was walking a mile in about twenty-five minutes. Today, I walked the first mile in SIXTEEN. Yes, I was pushing it a bit. I can maintain 20-minute miles all day, though, and that's the pace that they recommend for the Walk.

Went about four miles today. Not bad.

On my way back up my block I was greeted by this small-ish black Labrador mutt. She was very friendly, sniffing around my shoes and wagging her tail. I was talking to her owners and they told me she'd had puppies less than a month ago. They brought out a couple of them...they were so cute!! Lab/husky mix...one of the puppies was solid black, and the other was labrador-shaped but had husky markings. Adorable!

Today's steps: 8,691
