Continuing to Train

I did the longer run/walk training session this morning. Roger accompanied me, which makes it so much easier for me to do continue working for some reason. I ran my farthest distance, which isn't all that far, but I am proud of myself. I never thought I would be a runner, but am liking it. The book "Running for Mortals" really helped to put it in perspective for me. I realize I don't have to be an elite athlete to be a runner, and I'm not alone. I like that.

Monday's are rest days, but I'll be back at it stronger than ever on Tuesday. Happy Sunday!

Wicked 10k Training

I signed up for the Wicked 10k and have begun training. Training was somewhat derailed during our vacation, but I am back on track. I find that I feel stronger every day I walk or run and am optimistic about the end results. The end result being that I am stronger, leaner and more healthy. I'm not asking for a rail-thin body, just good health.
