We made another 9 miles in the new shoes today. The giant marshmallow is funny sometimes. When we walk along and don't see anyone she gets into a good pace at my side. If we pass someone on the trail she perks up and gets excited, then wants to play tug-of-war with the leash. It is as though she wakes from her meditation refreshed and ready to go despite the miles she has already walked. I am sure she was exhausted yesterday and tired today but that doesn't slow her down when she sees new people on the trail.
I have had little profound thinking lately. It has been enjoyable this weekend to simply feel good when I am walking and tired after. I was very footsore yesterday but not joint sore and that is exactly where I should be in my training. The new shoes make a big difference and being that I am almost done with full-time work I am enthusiastic about hitting the longer trails in the wilderness area too. I am interested to see how it will go with the giant marshmallow to be on those narrow trails with their rocky outcrops, rough terrain, and big ups and downs. She is a bit clumsy overall. Maybe next weekend we will make a point of it.
