Mile 205. Tortoise asked Wounded Duck tonight to vote for the path Lou would use to walk home from work. Our friend Duck voted "for the most feet climbed :)". The result was an extra couple twists on the most direct path in order to pick up an additional hill. Check it out and let Lou and Duck know what you think.
Walking thought was by Dieter Uchtdorf ...

And now for today's walking thought ...
"She sought counseling and medical help and began to realize that, for her, the best path for healing was to understand and accept that darkness exists -- but not to dwell there. For, as she now knew, light also exists -- and that is where she chose to dwell."
The tortoise is smiling!
