Decided to do some "cross training" today. Took a big ol' walk on the trails. It felt really good to stretch my legs. Kept my pace up so I was breathing hard. Think I averaged about 13/14 min. miles if I had to guess. Judging from the mile markers on the trail I think I went about 3.5. I feel kinda like a slacker that I didn't run- but wow, it was really enjoyable- late afternoon, cool enough for a hoodie, but not too cold. Tomorrow I'll log in 6 running miles before I sleep. That's right, its written, now I have to do it!

Hey walks are so nice and to me miles are miles! and you work different muscles walking. I have actually been sore after going on some walks. BTW your family pic is so cute!

Good job getting out - Like Marcie said - miles are miles. No slacker at all!

My friend found them at roadrunner sports or something like that? But I've seen them at most of the running places I've checked. They're pricey, but sound like they're worth it for us cold weather (wimpy) girls! They are cw-x or something like that. But when she went to order them for us last night they were out of stock. I haven't had time tonight to find them somewhere else.

Thanks for the encouragement. I was glad that I got out there. I think walking works some different muscles and always feels so good. You are no slacker - you got out there and did something! Enjoy your 6 miles today.

That sounds fun, Christi!! Not only the great stretch of the legs, but also that you only had to wear a hoodie! ;o)

Thanks gals! (for being nice to me about my lazy day) Laura- I know, I'm spoiled being able to wear only a this time of year! (well, not ONLY a hoodie...)
