Arctic Outflow

High winds again tonight.  -12 C and the wind chill is -24.  B and I walked up and down our street twice.  That gave us about 20 - 25 minutes of exercise.  It is bitter out, but if we had put on snow pants, we would have been able to go further.  As usual, the dog didn't seem to mind the weather at all. 
I also walked about another 10 minutes last night with B.

I walked with the dog for 25 minutes, bundled in three tops under my coat, 2 pairs of mitts and heavy socks in my work shoes.  Even though I was warm, the wind at the school was too ferocious.

January 1st, 2016 - First Day Of The New Year

Just went for my first walk of the new year.  -11 C and a very slight wind.  Refreshing!
The sun continues to shine brightly; the snow is crisp and clean. 

Walking to and around the schools, home again to the very end of my road is 40 minutes and about 2400 - 2500 steps.  Compared to what is recommended, 10,000 steps, this seems like very little for accomplishment.   However, I feel enlivened by getting out, and moving!

My foot continues to bother me, though not as badly as the last few days.  Instead of boots, I wore my work shoes which have good tread.  No mishaps.

I passed only one person and few vehicles.  It's late in the morning, but I think most people are only starting to get up after last night.

This picture does not do justice to the beauty outside, however it is a memory of today.

I didn't walk December 31st, 2015 - too busy working, visiting with a friend and then preparing for New Year's Eve.  Tomorrow will be a new day in a new year. :)
