It was beautiful in Ohio today! The sun was bright and the temps were in the mid-40s with almost no breeze. I couldn’t wait to get home to walk. My original plan was to head to Antrim Park and do 4 laps […]

Because I’m entered in the Emerald Across the Bay 12K March 20, I need to pick up my training distance a little. 12K is only 7.46 miles — I know I could walk that distance tomorrow, but I haven’t in a while. I wasn’t able to walk […]

Because I have been stiff and my IT bands have been sore, I decided to take it a little easy Saturday morning when walking with the Buckeye Striders. I was happy there were a couple people I haven’t seen in a while […]
