It's the end of February and, despite the fact that we had a few post-surgery days when Maiki wasn't able to walk at all, we've still managed to clock up a pretty respectable running total for the first two months of the year. 650 km is just over 30% of the way towards this year's target of walking 2022 km.
I've been aware of a fair bit of arthritis pain this winter and have sometimes got frustrated at the stiffness in my back or the lack of strength in my fingers and thumbs. So it was encouraging to see that I and the dogs are still managing to keep mobile and accumulate kilometres that we can donate to medical research (to a charity that raises money to fund research into a cure for multiple sclerosis.)
