Because of a busy day, I didn’t get out until after 9 p.m. on Monday. It was hot and humid and not much of a breeze, but because it was dark it wasn’t unbearable. I haven’t been out with it this dark in a long time. I wore my reflective vest and headlamp to be sure I could be seen. The headlamp definitely helps with uneven sidewalks and other potential hazards – like skunks.

It was supposed to be an easy 3 miles. I walked harder than the schedule called for, and though my Google pedometer route said it was only 3 miles I was out for 56 min., and I walked faster than that. I have to figure that Google map doesn’t take into consideration the loop at the end of each cul de sac. (The map picture doesn’t show a loop.)
