I just returned from my walk. I tried a new course today and I haven't yet measured the distance. I am assuming it is on the proud side of two miles. It took me 44:47 to complete it. I didn't try to go after it very hard so I will be able to beat that number when I try.
However, I'm not sure that beating the number is all that important. The main thing is that I'm walking and I'm doing it for at least 20 minutes.
The new route threads its way through the neighborhood. I leave the house and walk east to Atlantic. I head north up to Cora. I walk up Cora until Dalton angles into it and I walk all the way down to Wall Street.
At Wall I head south one block and turn east on Euclid and follow that all the way back to Atlantic. Then it's south one block to Park Place and back to the house.
I had one incident worth noting. There is a menacing looking young Rottweiler that is running free just as I turn onto Dalton. It came across the street towards me and circled behind me and started to growl. I turned around and yelled, "Hey!" looking directly at it and that seemed to do the trick.
I may take a walking stick out with me next time.
