Wednesday April 3 is National Walking Day and I found out about it by accident. Yep, even someone who is as active of a walker as I am didn’t know about it. The American Heart Association encourages everyone to walk at least […]
Yesterday, my friend Deb and I were scheduled to do 10 miles in preparation for our half marathon in just a couple of weeks. (Yes our training is off, but we needed at least one 10-miler before the race.) We started at […]
My training for the Germantown Half Marathon in Memphis on St. Patrick’s Day is a little bit off. A combination of bad weather, sore ankle and, well, a bad attitude, all contributed to affect my mileage. So, I was a little bit […]
