Hmmm- does this put me in the green now?

4 mile walk. At the end I ran into a neighbor about to walk her three dogs. One of them had been abused and traumatized before she got her, is very skittish and afraid of her own shadow. For the very first time, she came to me and I got to pet her head. It was quick, but it's a huge step for her.

Adding 6.3 miles from today and last night

Update: 34.5 of my 45 mile goal is done! So thrilled with my results this month.

Well spent the day test riding road bikes. After an day of riding lots of bikes, I am ordering my new bike tomorrow. One thing I did not like was riding on the drops, hoods and the way the shifting and brakes work. So I did the next best thing, a flat bar road bike. It is a road bike in every way, but the bars. I am so happy with that, it weighs 1/3 the weight of my dependable MTB. I have gone to N+1, 2 bikes. So distance rides, here I come. I just threw in a few miles as I know I rode further, but don't know how many.

Must remind myself...no jumping on bad knee...no jumping on bad knee...no jumping, no even a little, on bad knee...ouch.
The onion snow came today on the first day of spring. Okay better explain this since most of my school teaching staff looked at me strangely.

"Onion snow" is a regional term used primarily in the state of Pennsylvania, referring colloquially to the final snowfall before the end of the spring season. Some sources indicate that the onion snow typically occurs after the traditional time for planting spring onions, while others state that onion snow is an indicator of when the appropriate time has arisen to plant onions. In either case, onion snow is defined as a light snow that melts quickly. This regional expression is said to originate from Pennsylvania Dutch culture and language.
