In January, I logged 105 miles. Since I started logging my walks 19 months ago (April 2010), I logged 2,520 Miles.

I got sick during the month and it was difficult getting to my hundred mile goal.  Luckily the weather was very warm and very  clear. I had plently of opportunity to log miles at the end of the month.  During January it did snow but it didn't last.  I managed snowshoe twice.

My walks during the month included:

• Oakwood Cemetery Loop (5.6 - 6.8 miles), 3 times
• Neighborhood walks (1.7 - 4.2 miles), 15 times
• Zim Smith Trail (2.5 - 4.6 miles), 2 times
• Vischer Ferry Nature Preserve (4.5 miles), 3 times
• At Home Video (2 Miles), 17 times
• Saratoga Springs (2.5 Miles)
• Clifton Park Center (1.5 - 3.0 miles), 2 times

This December, because of a lack of snow,  I had to reach into my archive of unpublished walks. Now it's January, still no snow!

Last July we walked around Glimmerglass State Park and toured Hyde Hall.

12/31/2011 - Monthly Log

In December, I logged 104 miles. Since I started logging my walks 18 months ago (April 2010), I logged 2,417 Miles. Because of winter weather we got our "Walk-Away the Pounds Videos." We like the 2 mile walk that takes 1/2 hour. It's a great alternative when it gets nasty outside. Another alternative is mall walking (one lap at Cross Gates is a Mile). I also parked at Metroland Dinner, ate breakfast and walked to Cross Gates Mall to do my Christmas Shopping.
My walks during the month included:

• Oakwood Cemetery Loop (5.6 - 6.8 miles), 2 times
• Neighborhood walks (1.7 - 3.9 miles), 21 times
• Voorhesville (6.7 - 7 miles), 2 times
• Vischer Ferry Nature Preserve (4.5 miles)
• At Home Video (2 Miles), 4 times
• Mall Walks (1 - 3 Miles), 2 times
• Albany Pine Bush Preserve (2.1 miles)
