But hey, at least we are walking more than normal, right? Glad we're at about the same distance apryl! Thank you Lisa! Hi Elisa, glad you are participating in the challenge!

Allie has luxating patella, so she's restricted to a) walking and b) no more than 45 - 60 minutes of walking per day. I gauge how fast we go by how she seems to be feeling, but we walk every day, rain or shine. Normally we do a longer walk in the morning because it helps them relax when I leave for work, and then we do a second, shorter, walk when I come home for lunch. Because Allie's restricted to how much she can walk each day, we spend some time outside playing and working on obedience skills in the evening as a way to keep both of them stimulated and happy.

My hold up has been work. Of course, I am not complaining that I am very busy and have a job! Poor Gus does need some more exercise though, as do I! We’re about the 40 mile range also.

Because we started doing walking and bike paths instead of just sidewalks, I'm not quite sure where we are at, but I would guess about 24 miles (halfway to my goal of 50)! The blizzard certainly did not help that at all. I hate to say it, but the amount of walking so far this month is a major improvement for us. It gets very easy to rely on a fenced backyard, but that just doesn't cut it. I have seen a marked improvement in the dogs' behavior this month (and in Maggie's anxiety), which I completely attribute to getting out and walking more!! Thanks for the challenge! :) If your 42.5 miles doesn’t sound so good,than we are pathetic lol!
