Gary, Sorry to hear one of your dogs is having difficulties keeping up with you.....
Thanks LOVNMOM but she doesn't have any trouble keeping up with us! She is a hard charger! On 3 legs she is faster than the rest of us And that is the problem, she goes so hard in walking and play, then her leg gets tired (from an injury she had a few years ago) and she starts favoring it, limping, when that happens we just have to back off for a bit. Took them out for 2 miles after work, trying to be easy on her again today....both are out in the back yard right now playing tug of war with each other like there is no tomorrow, in and out of the house up and down the stairs, it should end in about 10 minutes....supper time
My son and a few of his fellow scouts needed to complete a 5 mile hike, with map and compass, to move up to the next level. Well, I am the "most fit" scout leader and the kids got out of school early today, so away we went. It was one of the most rewarding walks I've been on in awhile.
I met Angie at the end of the drive when I got home from work. She was taking the mutts out for their walk so I was able to change from my boots to shoes and hit the road for 2.5 miles with them before I even went in the house...yipee!
Gary, I'd love to have someone meet me at the driveway for a walk. You two are so awesome together!
I got in 2.5 with my DD yesterday. We had a great day shopping and purposefully "power walked" between stores. She's 15 and has recently dropped about 15 pounds herself. Just because of PE, better lunch time choices and growing up and losing the last of her babyfat so to speak. We had a blast together. She was able to shop in every junior section and got some great outfits oh, and her first pair of kickin' high healed to the knee black boots. OMGsh, she's really growing up. Scary!!!
