Good morning

Great job, Dixie, I'm glad you have a partner for your walks. I also have a partner, his name is Max. Max is my three year old German Shepherd. He isn't really into this fast paced walking, he likes a nice stroll, but he's adapting. Sometimes I walk with Tucker, now he's quite the jogger. Tucker likes to be first and fast. You can see photos and stories about Max and Tucker on Dawn's blog tri2fnsh.blogspot.com. Now there's an athlete.

Training

I have never "blogged" before and I think it will be more difficult than the marathon. I walked one and a half miles this morning in 35 min. My walking partner will be Bart, my 7 month old puppy. He has a lot of enthusiasm and can pull me when I get tired!

The Turkey Trot

Well, I did it. I should say we did it. Bill and I walked, and ran a little the two mile walk at English Landings park in Parkville, MO. Thanksgiving morning was the coldest day this season, so far, it was in the 20s. Now that may be a nice age, but not a very good temperature for getting out early in the day and going for a little stroll. We accomplished our goal, however, and in record time. We finished the two mile walk in under 30 minutes. I was so proud of my self that I ate the rest of the day.
We started the training this morning with another two mile walk, well I did 2 miles Bill humored me with one.
Get on the blog and let me know how you are doing with your training. Love you all.

Welcom ladies

Hi, there girls. I want you to know that I have walked two miles twice now. I did one last week and one today. On Thursday is our annual Turkey Trot. That's a two mile walk in Parkville, Mo. The predicted temp for the morning is about 34 degrees. Yes, girls it's a little nippy.
Well, I just wanted you to be encouraged to get going, make tracks, and it won't be long until we're crossing that finish line in St. Louis. I can't wait to see you all and have a blast.
Love ya, lots.
