Spring Training

Well, the home count has moved to 2-No's and 1-Wait (still a likely no).  We take small forms of excitement.

Fuzzy and I have started our Spring Training.  Hubby wants to do some backpacking into good fishing holes this summer.  Last long hike he took us on ended up in two tired girls, and the fuzzy one almost had to be carried the last mile.  She's not big on being carried either.  So we are checking our endurance level, losing some excess weight (though she's up three pounds from January), and getting the body used to long walks with some elevation change.  Today has been our record thus far, 2.28 miles at 3.2 miles per hour with 109 yards of elevation change.  She should be panting for another couple of hours and sleep well tonight.  I don't think she'll be the only one either.  The neighborhood may be a little busy, and lacking in sidewalks, but it is nice to be within walking distance to some nice green spaces.
