OUCH!!

Well, Saturday and our race being a week away, I decided to see what the old body has in her. I set out to do a four hour walk. It was really nice when I started, but this is Missouri, so as the day wore on, the wind picked up and even though they said it was 50 degrees, I don't buy it. I walked Tucker around the park three times, and then went home to get Max. I got a drink, a snack and then headed out with dog # 2. We went around twice and I was feeling pretty tired, my tiny toe hurt, and it was just cold.
Well I got home, and Dawn showed up, go on you can do one more. So I got a snack, she gave me a patch for my toe(which didn't help), and I got a drink, go on she says, you can do just two more, think how good you'll feel doing just three more.
Well I did head out, and I made it around once, by then everything was hurting, so I did pack it in and headed home. I was out about a total of 4 and 1/2 hours, and walked 10.08 miles. Not too bad for an old woman.
Today I took both dogs for a short one, about a mile. There was a break in the rain, and I took advantage of it, but I was not moving very fast.
Tomorrow is another day, I plan for three laps, and probably no dogs.

Getting close

I can't believe we have not been using this blog to keep in touch. I am getting back in the swing of walking, I have a schedule and so far, we've had some great cooperative weather.
It's been pretty cold, but nice. Tomorrow is supposed to be about 60, yahoo. That will be great, I'm going to shoot for twice around English landing in Parkville.
Johnette, where are youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?
