I started running, but injury forced me to switch to walking. I have fallen short each year, but mostly because I can't be bothered to log on and record my miles. I average 3 miles/ day...you see, I have a very ac pooch who needs to be walked several times a day. He keeps me on track.<br />YES....having animals is a commitment. If you can't put their needs first, don't take one in! All but one of our 5 pets are rehoming situations. We took them in, and are better for it, but my heart breaks for others....my one son loves pets, but just the other day said he didn't think he'd have them when he had his own place, as he knew he wouldn't care for them properly, too much work. No shame in that, I say! Good to know your limits.<br />How did you come to Rocky? I don't recall reading that story.Meg B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07787702814280004076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-52393579696101253952016-01-01T15:23:39.706+00:002016-01-01T15:23:39.706+00:00We can always count on you, Ilona, to keep us insp...We can always count on you, Ilona, to keep us inspired!!!

I go through fits and starts of walking my son to school every day but it normally tapers out at the first sign of a drop of rain .. any excuse.. Ha! That's 2.2 miles just there and back and if I walk to collect him I'm well over target for the day. Happy new year to you.
