It's official, I have the tee shirt

I signed up with Team Prevention (tinyurl.com/3mytoh) to walk the Philly Half-Marathon. (http://www.philadelphiamarathon.com/page/half-marathon) My Girl Scout friend Betsy was thinking about joining me. But I just saw on the website that it's sold out. So that won't be possible.

I'm not sure if I can do it at the minimum 16- minute mile, but I will complete the course. My best time is about 17.3 with other people talking and walking with me. Alone it's more like a 30-minute mile. As you know, I get easily distracted.

The breast cancer walks are more like a walking party. For the half-marathon you need to concentrate and move fast. Those that are really successful must power walk. You have to finish all 13 miles in 3.5 hours. I've got my mothers joints, power walking is out of the question.

But there's no turning back now, today my Team Prevention tee shirt came. It's pink and mostly sleeveless, which is kind-of funny for a November event. More than likely it's going to be cold! I assumed it was going to be performance fabric and it is so I'm glad I ordered the 2x. It just fits.

But first things first. The Avon next weekend. The 3-Day the following. After that's over I'll go to a track and try to walk fast. IF I could finish the 1/2 in 3.29.9 I'd be excited. But I'll be happy if I finish in 4 hours.
