Interesting wander this morning. Just walking along minding my own busyness a dog starts barking at us from the other side of a wooden fence. I didn't pay any attention, until it came over the fence and landed about 5 feet from us. Charlie and other dog sniffed, and piddled and all was good. I was wondering how the other dog was going to get back home, it trotted over to the neighbors block wall, hoped onto a short section, then up over the fence into the yard it came from. Rest of the wander was uneventful.

Nice walk today. I'll have to do this route again. Most of it was pretty easy. The east end of the park there is a crazy hill that heads up to Limerick ave. I have not seen the elevation change for it yet, but that is one long steep hill. Next time, I'm going to let Charlie off the leash for that hill, hanging onto him and trying to climb that thing was a bit tricky. I don't usually let him off leash anywhere that isn't designated leash free, but I'll make an exception there next time.

i've been doing my short walks, but not keeping up with the long walks I really need. This last week i've gotten in 2 nice ones, and my goal is to walk at least 3 miles each day I don't work. We'll see how my knees and ankles hold up to that.

Not much walking since last Thursday. On Wednesday, when I was walking down the hill heading east on Upas street I pulled the muscle in my left leg that runs up the shin. It is still a little uncomfortable but I can get back to some easier walking now. You know if I didn't do anything I'd probably hurt myself less, but that wouldn't be any fun now would it.( maps and stats ) |

Not a long walk, nothing spectacular happened. But the elevation change crossing Florida canyon twice kicked my butt. ( maps and stats ) |

Good walk this morning. One big laugh. Charlie loves to chase Squirrels. So today there was one squirrel in particular that Charlie wanted to chase. So he bolts off at a dead sprint, while I'm holding the leash at a light jog, so he's kicking up dirt, dust, leaves and stuff at me as his legs are running 3 times the speed we are going. The squirrelly in question panics and runs 7 feet up the nearest 6 foot tree. I've never seen anything like it in real life, that little fuzz tail flew up that 6 foot tree so fast it overshot the top, and fell back to the ground just inches from Charlie. The squirrelly suddenly realizes where it is and panic runs for the next tree, about 3 strides of no movement kicking up dirt and debris later the squirrel finally begins moving, Charlie begins his full sprint while I'm standing in place being showered by his debris. Squirrel runs up tall tree, Charlie lets out the "I want it" whimper-whine. I'm still laughing at seeing the Squirrel pop a foot out of the top of the tree.( maps and stats ) |

I need to do this. I don't know why, but I'm more motivated to take longer walks if I'm posting them.
I'm mad. I'm upset with myself for being a slacker. I've more gut than I want, I know how to get rid of it, I know what I want to do. I keep eating stupid cr*p and I don't really want because it sounds good. Perhaps I've finally seen to many commercials where people are happier because they ate a freaking chocolate bar. I can't say I like any of the candy on the market all that much, yet almost every time I stop to get gas I find myself eating some cr*ppy candy while filling up the car, or I'm tempted to grab some stupid calorie filled little wrapper while I'm in the checkout line at the grocery store. The hardest to refuse are the Doughnuts my co-workers bring in. I'll eat one, then kick myself for eating it, then I'll pick at another one, eventually eating a second one throughout the day. I don't need any of that crap. I don't want it. How do you tell that stupid part of your brain that has bought the lies told by commercials, that those won't make you happy? I know a large part of it is habit. If I can keep strong and develop a new habit the whole temptation thing will get easier to avoid. Wish me luck. To all who are fighting the same fight I offer moral support, to those who don't have to worry about it I stick my tongue out at you.( maps and stats ) |

2nd walk of today, Jenny or I will post pictures tomorrow. I'm not sure what happened to my speed/pace information. Kinda bummed. Anyway. Jenny and I had a real nice time, weather was beautiful, the hills were all green and lush, what a great day. So after this 3.3 mile wander we headed up to Julian, wandered around up there a little before heading home.( maps and stats ) |

Good walk with Charlie this morning. The first of a couple good walks planned for today. Jenny and I are heading up to Laguna for some time in nature, then perhaps wander around Julian for a little while. Should be a good day.( maps and stats ) |

Charlie and I had a pretty good wander, saw something kinda strange as we were heading up Alabama street heading home. There was a tallish fellow wearing a brown padres hoodie pushing one of those large black wheeled trashcans down the street. I thought it was odd, thought about calling the police letting them know since it is illegal to remove those from the address they are assigned to. I didn't I kept walking, got home and saw that it was our trashcan missing. So then I called police. It was probably best not to confront the guy, though even before I knew it was ours I thought about it. I hate thieves, I hate that so many people in our society can't keep their hands off other peoples property. Why can't people be respectful? I dunno. I don't get it. ( maps and stats ) |

Took Charlie out for a good walk this mornning hoping that it'll tire him out enough so he'll be a little more relaxed at the park later. I'm not sure it'll really work though, he's still a ball of puppy energy at 9 years old.( maps and stats ) |

My morning walk is the highlight of my day, except for the days Jenny and I take a real good evening walk. I'm pretty sure it is a good thing, however some may see it as a little sad. I dunno, keeps me happy. ( see stats and map ) |
