- walking
… 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 […]
Speed Work Outs
I finished my speed work out about 10 tonight. Sometimes I prefer to walk at night — it starts to cool down, it’s usually a little less humid, the air smells different, there’s less distraction, my neighbors don’t look at me like […]

My First Racewalk Championships (Yes, I was watching.)
The USATF Junior National T&F Championships were held today in Columbus, OH. On the campus of Ohio State, the events were held at the Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. I have never volunteered to help with a racewalk of this calibre before. It […]
Walking in Favorite Park, Again
Though we were supposed to do speed workouts today, we didn’t because of my swollen knees. I’m giving myself a couple more days of my own personal rehab, and if it doesn’t work I’ll see the doctor. The weather was beautiful! Temps […]
Functional and Fun Walking
In order to save gas, I am trying to walk for errands a little more often. My daughter walked with me to a grocery store this evening to pick up dog food and veggies for a dinner salad. And after dinner both […]
