Slowing Down
Well I had to slow down a bit this week. On Monday after my run both of my knees were hurting bad so I went to my chiropractor for adjustment. I was informed that running on concrete, especially at my age and with bad knees to begin with, is maybe not such a good idea.…

Jump Rope?
Well, yes, I did buy a jump rope and tried incorporating it in……but that’s a discussion for another time. So, yesterday, I tried power walking. Was able to do 3 miles at a sub 3hr half marathon pace. So that was interesting. Sub 3hrs is the goal. If I can do the half before my…

Starting Out
I started roughly 3 weeks ago and could only jog about 50 yards without stopping. My legs were on fire. But at least my breathing was heavy enough, I could have put it out. Over the weeks I was jogging (and even doing a little up hill action) and walking to build up my leg…
