Monday I walked for about 20 min. The first 10 min were great, but coming home my legs felt SO heavy! Last night I had a massage. I thought about walking, but decided a massage would be more beneficial. I wish he […]
My official finish time for the New Albany Walking Classic is 3:22 on the nose! How often does your watch match the official time! According to the race web site, I averaged 32:31, which is perfect for a 10K! In reality, according […]
