Not a nine-minute mile ...

But it was a nine mile day! At least that's what my handy-dandy pedometer told me before it reset as I was jogging across a busy stretch of highway. 

Andy and I hit a record distance today after helping a dear friend move out of her apartment and taking a long, lovely stroll through the Deer Grove Forest Preserve. After nearly three hours on the trek, we made our way back home, exhausted but proud, only to realize that it's only half of the distance I ultimately will be walking on any one of the three days. 

What perspective and yet what an awesome goal! 

With love and wishes for good health,
