Good Morning WISH Walking Wonders:
Sorry I haven't been posting much lately (I am sure you all really miss me

), but I have had a lot of life/work going on and also have been trying to get my back straightened out. I have been unable to do much actual walking since problems flared up at the ToT. I have been working with my physical therapist, however, and broke down to utilize a personal trainer from the Y who is a runner/triathalete. So, we have developed a plan that concentrates on aerobic conditioning and strength (without walking) for the next few weeks in an effort to get the back straightened out while increasing aerobic conditioning. From there, if things are a go, we will try to ramp up the walking. Long story short, I've got a lot of work to do, but have not thrown in the towel on the half yet. As a jock in my earlier life (and attorney now), I think my self esteem and ego will survive if I can make it to the start with a possibility of finishing and I end up not finishing. As long as I give it my best effort, I realize somedays I am not going to be the "winner." Besides, what fun are goals if they easily achieved. Enough about me.
Kim Good to "see" you back posting and sorry about the B's beating the Make-Beliefs again.

Dave Thanks for keeping us all going and I am happy to see Erica is giving you a break this week. Let me know about the walking shoe thing. I still am willing to write to Pearl Izuma in support of the cause. Hey, we aren't joggers either. I am sure they will see it fits perfectly with their current advertising campaign.
Robert Get well. Hopefully we won't have to spend more time at the R&C than originally planned.
Everyone Great job on keeping your training going.
If I don't post again today-
Happy Thanksgiving Ya'll (sorry, must be the closet redneck in me coming out again.)
