Tonight’s Speed Workout
3 X 1 miles. I waited until nearly 9:20 to go out to walk. It wasn’t an intentional delay, I ended up buying shoes, then eating dinner, checking e-mail… before I knew it, it was late! This is exactly why we are […]
New Shoes
I am trying out a new pair of “half marathon” shoes. As many of you may know, I tend to get too light of shoes for longer distances. This pair is a little bit heavy and very cushy. They feel great! I’ll […]
What’s on Your MP3 Player?
I’m always curious about what people have on their MP3 players. I personally don’t like listening to music when I’m walking — I almost always have a good audio book on mine. (I know, I’m boring.) So, what is on your MP3 […]

Deb and I did our 45-min “tempo” walk tonight. Though hot and humid, it was actually cooler at 5 p.m. than it was earlier. There was a great breeze and the clouds helped keep it cooler. Before I got to our walking […]
Change of Plans — I Walked This Morning!!
What a day! I knew it would be hot, so I decided to walk with the Buckeye Striders this morning at 7:30. I just had a feeling that if I didn’t, I wouldn’t get my 6 miles in today. We went to […]
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 […]
