I got 8 miles in today and it was great! I was a little nervous because once I get beyond 5 or 7 miles during training, I worry about how I will feel. I went to one of my favorite parks that […]

My Crim race training program called for 4 miles “acceleration” today. That means, I had to start out at a reasonable pace and each successive mile to go faster and finally finsh very fast. During my first mile I kept going too […]

I’ve had racewalking lessons, but I never really felt like I “got” it. I seriously need more lessons, but haven’t had time. I wish I could have been to the Bonnie Stein clinic when she was in Columbus last month. I always […]

Because of a busy day, I didn’t get out until after 9 p.m. on Monday. It was hot and humid and not much of a breeze, but because it was dark it wasn’t unbearable. I haven’t been out with it this dark […]
