So tonight we took a wrong turn, as it were – I made a knee-jerk reaction to take an alternate route for part of my nightly walk with Cleo because a guy with another dog came along and was walking at our same pace in the same direction as we were, meaning that I would’ve had to deal with her pulling like a crazy dog for god knows how long! She hasn’t been doing too well with encountering other dogs on our walks lately – she used to just pull a little and then refocus once we walked past, but now she starts growling and barking and pulls in the opposite direction until the other dog is completely out of sight … not fun in the slightest, so if anybody happens to know how to break her of this horrible habit, I’d love to hear any and all pointers!!!
Anyways, so to sum it up…
Intended Duration of Walk: 3.5 miles (65 minutes)
Actual Duration of Walk: 6.6 miles (120 minutes)
By the time we had completed our bypass, I guess I was feeling up to pushing myself a little farther and I had plenty of podcast left to listen to, so I added in an extra side loop and then took the long way home on top of that! I couldn’t believe until I looked up the ridiculously similar to spaghetti-looking route on Google Maps that we’d actually gone that far, although now my legs are starting to feel it and I can only imagine how I’m going to feel come tomorrow morning…
And to think tomorrow our plan is to spend the day walking around Disney World! Maybe I can just get one of those motorized chairs or something…
