December 30, 2006 Week 14

As promised I got back on that horse and have started walking regularly again. Started the week out on Sunday with a pretty easy 4.4 mile hike with the dogs. This was Riley's first official hike and all went pretty well. As clumsy as this dog is he did extremely well with the trap rock, he was almost graceful. When we reached the area with the view Riley dropped totally to the ground in fear... I think he thought I was tossing him over the edge. Once I settled in and sat down he calmed a little and was able to get up and sniff around though he never got closer than about 6 feet from the edge.

The nights have been cool but still not enough to keep from walking... actually it's been quite pleasant to walk at night. Total this week was 17 miles including the hike giving me a final total of 127 miles.
