? ? ?In my recent reflections about the seven years since adopting Mickey, I’ve wondered about how many walks and runs we might have shared. Though I’m not much of a math person, I asked myself, ‘And just how many miles have that dog and I walked or run together?’ I got out my calculator.
?
? ? ?I’ve had Mickey for 7 years this month. That calculates to 364 weeks. We’ve walked and/or run a minimum of 15 miles a week during each of those 364 weeks. Doing the math (on the calculator, of course), we’ve put a total of 5,460 miles on our 2 feet and 4 paws, respectively.
?
? ? ?Of course, some weeks we’ve covered less ground (but not much less) and some we’ve seen much more.?
?
? ? From my vantage point, that’s a a lot of miles.
?
? ? A shortlist of the places we’ve seen together include:
?
  • Every city park, unknown park, and every park in-between in the metropolitan Kansas City area.
  • Pikes Peak. Colorado
  • Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri
  • Rodeo Days; Sheridan, Wyoming
  • Wasatch Mountains, Idaho
  • Salt Lake City, Utah
  • Salina, Kansas
  • Southern Oregon Coast – Harris Beach, Gold Beach, Brookings
  • Smith Rocks, Oregon
  • Redwood National Forest, California
  • Colorado Springs, Colorado
  • Bend and Sisters, Oregon
  • Mount Shasta, California
? ? ?It’s been so much fun, adventure dog.
