LifeCare Walk/Run

This morning was the LifeCare Walk/Run. This run focuses on wellness and community.



This was right up there with one of the coldest 5Ks I remember running. It was about 40 degrees with 10 mph wind and a slight drizzle. I wish I would've dressed a little warmer with and extra shirt and gloves. Oh well - no over-heating concerns today.


I ran pretty much exactly as I was hoping to run: first mile 9:52 pace, second mile 9:43 pace, third mile 9:43 pace. Overall time: 29:36. I think my pacing was just about perfect. I don't think I could've finished any faster.


I was exhausted at the end. There weren't any age-rated medals today. I assume I was first for my age group. I will add to this post later with more information as I receive it.

Year 15!

Year 15 of 'Running Every Street' has begun. I've actually been doing for a few weeks now. But with the cold weather, it hasn't been fun...

This year's shoe is the Brooks Adrenaline 24 GTS:

They're not 'super shoes', so I probably won't be running a sub 2 hour marathon anytime soon. If I can run a sub 29 minute 5K soon, I'll be happy.

A 3.3 mile run today...

Road to Health - #7 Man's Best Friend

Perhaps an unexpected entry near the top of a health plan is a dog. For me a dog is a great motivator. Dogs need walks every day. And walking is their favorite thing to do. They're not afraid to let you know it's time their walk.


This is my most difficult post so far. Our precious little dog, Ollie, our dear friend of fourteen years, just passed away a few months ago. I took him for walks twice a day since he was a pup. I miss him so much. 

And exercise is not the only benefit of having a dog. There's also the social component, the love, the companionship. Yes, having a big part of this list.
