Toasty Tonight
I didn’t get out to walk tonight until after 7! Even though it was late, it was pretty toasty. Though the intent of this walk was stress relief, I wasn’t very effective — I didn’t walk hard enough to get my heart […]

Scents of Walking
Walking through the neighborhood today, my olfactory senses were unusually sharp making my walk much more interesting. The reason I’m so excited is that my sinuses are usually sore this time of year and I’m lucky to be able to smell anything. […]
Sunday Walk
I didn’t get up as early today as I do when I walk with the Buckeye Striders on Saturdays. I did just 30 min. in the neighborhood. It was brisk this morning and I felt chilly in shorts and a light long-sleeved […]
First After-Race Walk — Feeling Good
Today members of the Buckeye Striders met at 8 a.m. for our weekly group walk. It felt good to sleep in today! Deb has had us doing our long training walks as early at 6:45 the last couple of weeks. We met […]

Got My Mileage In
Boy, it was chilly today! I thought it would warm up pretty early, so I decided to wear shorts. Not the right decision. It took almost 2 hours before I warmed up! We walked on a bike trail in Westerville for 5.5 […]
11 Miles in the Morning…
Are you ready? We are heading out really early — about 6:45 start, which means I have to be up before six to get there on time. Whew! I guess it shows how much I enjoy walking with my walking club that […]
