• When I got to Antrim Park it was almost too chilly for the sleeveless shirt I chose to wear. (I was freezing!)
• I ran into my nephew David! The last time I ran into David at Antrim, we were both timing our laps and couldn’t stop.
• This time of year, if you walk hard enough to breathe through your mouth, you might swallow a bunch of gnats. (I did that tonight. Added protein?)
• If you push your elbows back hard enough and it becomes second nature, you can walk faster!
• Though I didn’t feel I was pushing my hardest, I had a 13:32 mile!

The first lap was a bust because I ran into David about one-third of the way around the lake and we did stop to talk tonight. After that warm-up lap, lap two was 16:52 and lap three was 16:15 — that equals a 14:03 min-mile and a 13:32! I was not walking my hardest, I was not breathing my hardest and my heart rate peak was only 145. Yea!!!
