8-0/0-1

Despite waking up sore from all the walking recently, had tons of energy today. First walk went for 8 1/2 miles in Carlisle/Concord woods over the packed snow and ice. Afterwards, did some errands including getting some warmer gloves up in New Hampshire as it is going to get very cold around here in the next few days. Even today was cold, started out in single digits and never got past mid-20s. Second walk was at the quarry and despite treacherous ice, I didn't slip and fall once and the 5,000+ steps in those woods was well-earned. Yet another walk in the icy cold after dinner while light snow was falling. In between I did a little reading and watched a little football.

Was supposed to be a major snowstorm tonight and tomorrow but it looks like accumulations will be on the light side. We'll see in the morning as it's coming down steadily right now.

Song of day was Shooter Jennings "Walk Of Life" - a Dire Straits cover.

Today's 32,000 steps (16 miles) was the furthest I've walked in at least a year and a half. I feel like I am quickly getting back in the shape I was in a few years ago when I lost all the weight and if I continue on this pace, I'll have all my excess weight shed by summer.

Not a bad start to the vacation.
