A Goal

I was reading an article in the "Signs" magazine about a 92 year old Hawaiian lady who speed walks in the Hawaiian Marathon. So it began me thinking, why couldn't I speed walk in a half marathon for starters. So I just got back from a beautiful walk, walking a bit faster than usual, occasionally doing the "speed walk stance" (which by the way is almost as tiring as jogging). I felt that it gave me a much better work out and I am going to try to do my 2 mile trek in 30 minutes instead of 40, which is my pace now. I didn't think to time myself today but I think I will get a pedometer too so I can know just how far I've gone. Maybe next year Ashley and I can speed walk and Ben and Darrel can run in the half marathon in Lincoln. :)
