completed my first real training walk. Mapped out two miles and hit the pavement to see how fast I could complete it. 26:56!!! (4.45 mph) That’s a full minute faster than my goal. My lungs weren’t too happy with me, but with a pace like that I’m feeling a bit more confident about the 10 miler.

I know that I’m great at planning but not so great at executing. So, for whatever it’s worth, I plan/hope to complete two more training walks this week, and to complete four walks next week while I’m on my “business trip.” I’d love to make it to four miles by the end of next week, but any distance will do.
