Cutting it Short Thursday

Because of a baseball meeting at the high school yesterday, I wasn’t able to fit in an entire 3-mile walk. But I did get in 2 miles. Not so bad! I’m back on schedule for the Flying Pig and I’m ready for […]

Warm Day in Columbus

What a beautiful early evening for a 3-mile walk! Temps in the 70s, though it was windy. Again I was overdressed in light leggings and a very lightweight long-sleeved technical shirt. Last night when I packed my gym bag, I thought it […]

3 Miles Easy

To get in my 3-mile walk today, I again head off to the library. Because my knees are still a little swollen from Saturday’s workout, I wanted to get in the miles without increasing the stress. Walking to the library is always […]

Trails were PACKED Today!

The Buckeye Striders met to walk on the multi-use trail along the Olentangy River this morning. I knew this trail was popular, but I have NEVER seen so many people on this trail before. There were hundreds of people! It made me […]
