30 min Easy…

… Just as the training schedule said. I walked from my house to around the “big block” in our neighborhood, back home and then one more lap. It was actually about 16:25 per lap, but that was OK. The CD of the […]

Training for New Albany Half

Deb and I continued our speed workouts today. We walked 4 X 1/2 @ 10K pace, but when I got home, I noticed we were really supposed to do 8 X 400 at 5K pace. Oh, well. Neither of us slept well […]

New PR!

Today’s UA Memorial Day Race was great! I’ve never entered this 5-mile event before, but it is well supported by members of the Buckeye Striders and other local walking clubs. Though slightly hilly, I had a great race! We started out slowly, […]
