March 9 at Green Lake

Another cold morning in Seattle. Today's (cheerful) forecast is "Mostly Sunny" but we will have to burn off the low clouds and morning fog first. The walk went well ... 3.31 miles ... pace 18:11. I've got to remember the pace is (slightly) impacted by my stopping to take photos. Oh well ... :-)

A lot of ducks!

  6. The more you walk the more you will enjoy it. :) I find it doesn't matter how far or how fast you go but that you just get out and do it. I always like hearing about others walks. Happy Walking.
