Walk 5: Doggy Socializing Time!
73° | Mostly Cloudy/Mild | 4.27 mi.
By some miracle, I was up before 9 a.m. today, so I was eager to get outside before the temps rose. I was also a little ambitious about walking five miles today and left it at four and a quarter, mainly because when we passed the dog park there were three other dogs playing! Couldn’t pass that opportunity up, since this park seems to be pretty quiet during the week.
We met a very nice grandmother and her three grandchildren, and Goose got to play with their dog Sodie (as in sodie-pop) as well as another woman’s two dogs, Coco (above) and Shelly. One of the young boys (about 8 years old) told me about a time when he ate a Lego. Good job, kid!
Dog parks are great when others are around because when the dogs get along, you get along. Interactions like this give such a great sense of community.
So, even though we didn’t hit 5 miles today, our 4.27 miles was apparently a personal record plus Goose got a ton of romping and running out at the park.
Note for the charts below: The huge spike was caused by an unusually long traffic light with an awkward crossing. Gonna have to find a way around that intersection, especially since it’s a two lane road leading up to it with no sidewalks.
