Good day, my friends. I took a small break with Easter and my niece's birthday happening during that time, but now I am back in full force. During this time I walked but not as much , so my body took a break too.During the two week period I walked 17.14 miles in a total of over 4 hours. I did the Celebrity 5K race, a beautiful race from Watson Island to the end of South Beach. I did better this year then last reducing my time by almost 2 minutes.
An exciting part of this 2 week period was the announcement by FIT (Friends in Training), the group that I train with, that the season would be starting on May 10. Also the marathon that we will training for is the Rock and Roll Marathon in San Antonio. This is an inaugural race, and one that I had signed up to do already with my friends, Barbara and Dennis. So now I get to go with a bunch of my friends from FIT too.
Yesterday I went on a 8 mile training walk with Nancy and Marilyn. We had plenty of water,and it was breezy on the beach. We kept a good pace of little over 15 minutes per mile. When we were getting almost to the end I get dry heaves, well it not only scared Nancy , but it was uncomfortable for me. What happened? I had plenty of water, but I did not drink it. Just a reminder that although the breeze did not let me feel the heat and humidity. I need to hydrate. At least it was early in the training for me to learn my lesson again. And there were not too many around to embarrass me too much.
I start this week with the resolve to train more. I miss going out, but my body is stronger because I allowed it to rest during this time. So I say to all of you. WALK ON.
