You are doing wonderfully

Good distances and it looks like you are really enjoying it. I wish I had the cooler temps like you do.

Enjoy the walks and stay healthy!

NualaBuala Happy Christmas eveyone!

You're doing great!

And it sounds like you’re enjoying it. I love seeing interesting and beautiful things when I go for a walk – it makes it into a great experience and not just a “chore” I’d love to see an owl and bats – I love them.

I have a pair of Asics too – so comfy.

Good luck and keep enjoying it :-)

Thank you, Nuala,

for encouraging & supporting me in my goals. smile

P.S. The bats are probably both Little Brown & Big Brown Bats by type, the owl probably a Barn Owl—it’s hard to tell in the dark! smile

DarkDog welcomes 2010.

That's great

Bats are always fun to see and owls are wonderful birds. I usually only can see bats when I’m on vacation, however from time to time I see an owl when I get home late at night.
