Crap. I knew this was going to happen - that I'd forget to keep track while I'm on vacation.
Let's see:
Friday: Took the dog for a walk. I think that was about a mile (1)
Saturday: Took the dog on a much longer walk, and it took a while for him to forgive me. Two miles (2)
Saturday: Ran my 5-mile route around my parents' place. (5)
Sunday: I don't think I did any walking this day.
Monday: I know I walked to Hastings (we'll call that ... um ... .5 total, round trip). Had lunch with Brooke. Went to Dad's wound therapy appointment with him. Went for pie with Mom. Watched a thunder storm on the back deck and got an AMAZING picture of the lightning forking across the sky. So. Beautiful. (.5)
Tuesday: Birthday! I decided to take a walking tour of the neighborhood where I grew up. Either I've become the Jolly Green Giant since I left, or everything there shrank. It (all) used to be much larger. What happened? The hill that used to terrify me when I was on my bicycle? It's barely and incline now. The rock wall in my neighbor's yard where we used to hide when we played Hide and Seek with the neighborhood kids? It's shrunk down to the point that it wouldn't hide a Yorkie now. the only things that got bigger were the trees. Goodness. The tree Mom and Dad planted for Matt is absolutely enormous. I wandered through the park where I used to play, around the subdivision where we used to deliver newspapers, up the hill past the public elementary school where I went for one year and past the junior high school that's home to the Terrifying Sledding Hill where Matt almost broke his nose one Christmas Day. I'm going to call that hour-long meandering two miles. (2)
Wednesday: Laramie! EM and I walked all over downtown Laramie, toward Washington Park, and almost once completely around before my altitude exhaustion caught up with me, and I begged to spend the rest of the time just sitting on the (beautiful) grass while we chatted about various things, including my neuroses about various ex-boyfriends. I'm calling that day's wanderings about two and a half miles. (2.5)
Thursday: Laramie! More downtown wandering and some reconnecting with the UW campus, but not as much. I think I'll call the whole day about one and a half miles. (1.5)
Friday: No walking (yet) today. I've had a wonderful morning with KJW and have been working on updating photos and blogs and such while Mom naps. Shopping and visiting is in the forecast for this afternoon, as is an appointment with Dad's wound therapy people.
OK. So tally time. 14.5 miles since I've been on vacation. That's not a bad vacay, I guess.
I haven't gained any weight, but I certainly haven't been shy about eating, either. It IS vacation, after all ... :)
14.5 miles this week
14.5 miles this month
248.5 miles this year
251.5 miles remaining.
