I Clocked a Mile and the Mile Won...

For the first time in six+ weeks, I walked the dog over to St. Mary's Park today--about half a mile each way. Sat down and threw the ball for an hour, which requires no standing up, but was able to make it there and back without dying. Emily seemed very pleased, although her walking manners had slipped a little (she'd been driven to the park with the dog-walker's pack) and will have to relearn the fact that We Do Not Pull On Leash.

Now my leg and my foot are a little cranky, but I expect that by tomorrow when, like clockwork, Emily will crave exercise, the Foot and I will be ready.
