Its been pretty wintery last few days with 4 inches that fell here in Seattle. Today on Jan 19th it began with an ice storm that gradually turned into heavy snowfall again. My sister Jenn took some pics today of ice covering plants at her house. Shes letting me post them for all of you to see.

 

Yesterday Seattle finally got some snow, and today I walked to Camp Long and took some pictures and videos.

 

Thought I would share a little bit of fun video courtesy of my friend Keith. this was taken from Ocean Shores and those pants I am wearing are close to slipping off me without a belt.

 This was an eventful day. I had planned out to go hiking today with my friend John. However he did not show up to almost 1 pm complaining of a bad back. So I took him onto the trails at Camp Long, and walked about 2.8 miles. I made sure to double check with my pedometer and It was pretty accurate to the map data. Afterwards my friend John told me we should have gone on a real hike. I had the urge to smack him upside the head.  Fortunately I'm too nice of a guy.

  Feeling a bit cheated, I went on my nightly 4 mile walk. However I walked past Hamilton viewpoint and continued down the hill to Harbor ave  also know as the Alki Trail. because I felt cheated, I kept walking past Saltys all the way to the West Seattle Bridge. Instead of walking back up Avalon Way I turned and walked back to the way I came. I walked back up California Way  to California Ave. Which actually was far more gentle that I previously thought. Or It might just mean I am finally getting into better shape. Finally by the last 2 miles walked on California Ave my feet, knee, and shoulders were getting tired, mostly it was my feet. Which felt pretty badly abraided. I must figure out a better sock shoe system. Now tallying up the miles via google maps and my pedometer apparently I just walked 8.2 miles without stopping. Adding in my 2.8 miles at Camp ong that makes for an even 11 miles I walked today. Even though i am in  some pain mostly my shoulders and neck, I'm satisfied with my progress. In fact I did not feel out of breath at all not one single time and I am happy to report no lower back pain. This was indeed a good day.
 

Walked another 4 miles today to Hamilton Viewpoint. I totaled up how many miles walked so far and am at 52 miles. Go Team Fuzzy.

Ok walked 5 miles on Monday and 4 miles on Wednesday. I have lost 20 pounds since I started walking.

I walked over 4 miles today. I dont really feel sore at all and my feet were relatively ok. I think adding another layer will allow me to get more then 4 miles at one time. My eventual goal is ot get ot 16 miles in a day.
