Walked the neighborhood circuit with Tate today. Finally remembered to use my GPS watch to measure and time the route. I had estimated 3 miles, but it is 3.33. Time today, for a walk that was interrupted by a problem with Tate's harness was 59.16, a 15:56 per mile pace. If I take 4 or 5 minutes off for the repair, I'm at 55 or 56 minutes and a more respectable pace. Highlight was coming across a pileated woodpecker working on a dead birch tree along the street. Awesome bird.
