A long walk

Just got back from a 14 mile walk in my new shoes.  It's the furthest I've gone so far.  I didn't think I would go that far but it was a nice morning and I have little to do the rest of the day.  The shoes worked great and though I would expect to have sore feet after walking 14 miles I don't have any sore joints, and I felt I was walking the way I was made to walk for the first time in a long time today.  I've started  a paper record of the miles I walk each day, and have added my blood pressure when I get back (for my doctor of course because I want to get off the blood pressure pills before the trip).  I want to see how far I go before the shoes start to wear out. 

I brought a leg bone back for the giant marshmallow.  She has been restless during the week so I hope the bone lasts a while.  She gets so excited to see all those cow bones and loves to play.  If I let her she will take the bones just off the trail in the woods and bury them - better tasting after they have softened in the ground for a while I guess.  I am going to watch a movie while I eat my baked potato and bacon soup then go sit in my chair and read till I fall asleep.
