 MI Member Since: 04/05/11 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/5/12 4:14 am One of the goals I posted about 2 months post up was to walk a half marathon. Yesterday, I did 13.25 miles in a single walk (a half marathon distance is 13.1 miles) I was a little pissed off at the gym, after doing my weight circuit, all the treadmills were full, so I could not do my intervals well. It was a nice day for Michigan in February (sunny, mid thirties, light wind and no snow on the ground). So I decided to go walk in a local state park. Feeling good, did some very light running off and on in the first few miles Next thing I know, I went Forrest Gump, and just kept going. As James Brown sang "I feel good" Gary |

"We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." Nor can we do what we've been doing and expect different results.

MI Member Since: 04/05/11 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/5/12 6:10 pm Thanks everybody, but I just want to cl airy on thing. I 95% walked the distance. I meant the Forrest Gump reference as I just kept going, unplanned, because it felt right at the time, I ran only a little at the beginning. as a matter of fact, because it was unplanned, I did not have the right shoes, and I limped the last mile with a blister on my toe., I wasn't trying to miss-lead anybody.
