Yesterday I was wearing boots and trudging through “snow cone” style snow. Today, the snow is about 90 percent melted and the sun was very bright! With no jackets and too heavy of walking pants, we did 3 X 1 miles “sprints”. […]
It was 50 degrees and sunny today – plus it is now light an hour later due to daylight saving time. It seemed like the perfect day to try walking to the Library again. The great thing about it being so warm […]
Daylight saving time worked to our benefit today! We started walking at a little after 5, which would have been 4:00 last week. We had plenty of time to get in several miles before it would be dark. We did two laps […]
Here in Central Ohio we have received about 16 inches of snow in the last 24 hours. I haven’t been outside since I arrived home yesterday evening. The bank and post office are both closed, and those are the only two places […]

Though I get really tired of the cold, snow, wind and slush this time of year, it is days like today that make me truly appreciate winter. The temps were in the high 20s or low 30s, there was no wind and […]
We did our “tempo” walk tonight – we walked for 10 min to warm up, then 40 min at the pace we will for the 21-mile event at Big Sur. I was a little worried because it had snowed several inches earlier […]
