Wogged at Strawberry Patch late this aft. Walked for one mile at 17 min. pace and wogged the 2nd mile at 14 min. Have not had a chance to check out speed walking tips from the website yet. It is really interesting how you get new aches and pains that just show up out of the blue and then go away just as quickly. When I feel a new pain I start to get very anxious thinking I have an injury and then poof, it's gone...that is a very good thing! For some reason, I had difficulty motivating myself to go to the park today. I used to look forward to going, but not lately. The thing that pushed me out to the park is our INCREASING mileage and I want to keep up so I can DO IT. I have bought a nifty timepiece that is suppose to do everything under the sun and I can not even figure out how to enter the interval info. I am determined to figure it out for myself and do not want my son to just do it for me. I am calling the "800 number" tomorrow for help...that is somehow different than asking my son. I am so not a techie and am such a wanabe techie. I will have it all figured out by October!

I originally had planned to do the Sat. morning mileage and then drive to Pensacola, FL afterwards. After reconsidering and remembering how exhausted I was after only 7 miles last Saturday, I have decided that if I sat in a car and drove 4 hours afterwards, that it would take the jaws of life to remove me at my mom's house! So I will do 8.5 miles with Kristy at the Rez on Friday afternoon. Then on Sat. morning I will drive to Pensacola...makes more sense, but I sure will miss out on all the excitement of doing the Cannonball. I will also miss the next Saturday because I am going to a wedding in New Orleans. I love getting together with y'all on Saturdays, so it is a downer to miss the opportunity! Hope some MM'ers earn some medals Saturday!

Will miss seeing you Saturday. If you need help with your new toy let me know. If you got the Garmin I can probably walk you through it. I love mine. The only thing that could be better would be for the software on the PC to allow you to pick out sections of the workout and run stats on it. I guess that's why you use the lap button, but I don't always remember to do that.

Let me know if you need help.

How's the running going? I am disappointed I am not making faster progress, but I am making progress -- just slower than I'd like.

Have a great trip and I guess it will be a couple of weeks before we see each other. I am going to my Mom's for Mother's Day. I wonder how many miles we'll be doing that weekend!

You will be missed Saturday! I hate that you have to go to Pensacola. What a bummer to HAVE to go to Florida!
I do hope it is for pleasure, not business.
Have a great trip either way!

Sorry we will miss you! Have fun in Florida, though. And I'm glad that you and Kristy will be able to get the mileage in together! That will be fun. (Well, as fun as 8.5 miles can be....) Be safe on your trip. Get plenty of rest Friday night after your mileage.

I enjoyed wogging with you, too. The name of the shorts is RaceReady. Go to www.raceready.com or check at Fleet Feet.
They are wonderful. Have fun in Pensacola.

Smart decision to do your run Friday. But we'll sure miss you on Saturday! Have a great trip!
