Today Deb and I met for our 3-mile training walk. The Scioto River seemed a little small after walking beside the Mississippi River for three days. Still the sun was shining, temps were in the mid-50s and it was a beautiful day. […]
My meetings ended much earlier than I had anticipated today, so I was able to get out in the bright sunshine and walk 4 miles! Because of the blisters I had from the previous day’s walk (actually, not fully healed from last […]
I am in St. Louis for a few days for business meetings. Usually when I’m traveling for this job, it is a full day of meetings with maybe a 1-hour break in the middle. (Working lunches.) Today, for some odd reason, I […]
I don’t like to get up in the morning. In fact, I’m fond of saying, “If I have to get up THAT early, there better be Class-V rapids involved.” (I love white water rafting!) That being said, when training for a long-distance […]

What a beautiful early evening for a 3-mile walk! Temps in the 70s, though it was windy. Again I was overdressed in light leggings and a very lightweight long-sleeved technical shirt. Last night when I packed my gym bag, I thought it […]

I ended up at Antrim Park about 9:30 this morning. Though slightly overcast, the morning was beautiful! It was about 62 degrees, slight breeze and perfect for walking. The strange thing is, the park wasn’t crowded! Since training for my first marathon […]
As I have reported before, my training for the Cincinnati Flying Pig Half Marathon has been a little bit off due to other commitments and the fact there are only 24 hours in a day. In fact, I haven’t even looked at […]
I keep thinking that just blogging when I walk is pretty boring. (To you the readers, not me.) But here I go again with another walking update. Wednesday was a beautiful late winter day! It was sunny, temps were in the 50s […]
