The Walking Thread

Happy Tuesday!

I did not want to roll out of bed today… but I did. I got in 6.22 miles. Funny but it’s the exact same route but some days I guess I’m more efficient on the curves than others. It’s my only explanation for it coming in slightly more or less some days. 96% humidity this morning. Felt really gross! It was a bird filled morning with a red bellied woodpecker who stuck around long enough for pics.

Beautiful pics TiggerTigger. I love the birds. I enjoy their morning cheeriness. I am not a morning person, but listening to them talk and sing and go about their day helps me get going.

I got my 3 miles in today after a storm. I am just thankful the sun came back out and I could get out. It has been a very hard winter and a long exhausting school year and I need the therapy of sunshine and walking outside in spring.

I feel kind of bad posting this in the walking thread…because I shouldn’t feel guilty about getting out there and putting in my miles, but today… I RAN. It wasn’t 100% running but at least 50%…probably more.

I was sitting in the bleachers last night and got the urge to run. Obviously, I’m not going to in the middle of a softball game but decided I would if I still felt that way this morning. I couldn’t get intervals working on my watch or apps so I did an undefined method. In other words, run at that tree…walk starting at that shadow. Sometimes, I even pushed it to see how I felt…like you’re not going back to a walk until at least 10 seconds after that bridge. I am by no means fast, but I had two PRs this morning. My fastest 10k and my fastest 1k. So, I was faster than I ever was back in 2019… and this was with zero recent run training. So, please forgive me…for I have run.

I was also wearing the new faster shoes. They MADE ME DO IT
