January 2, 2010: Day 31, Walking around the block again

The weather has warmed up (it's 47 right now according to our little weather station) so there's more dry pavement to walk on.  The rest of the street is either slushy or snowy depending on where we are and what time of day it is, so we tried walking around the block for our last walk of the day on December 30th.  Winston was noticeably tired afterwards, but didn't seem much more sore from it.  On New Years Eve and New Years Day we walked two 5 minute walks and one "long" walk -- it's about 12 minutes rather than 10 so we increased the time just a bit more than the recommended increase.  Winston is no longer more tired from it.  I'm thinking that we might try for a second round the block walk today.  We've already done one 5 minute and one round the block walk.
