walked tomorrows 5K today

Bonnie and I walked today. She's not back 100% yet and didn't sign up for the Iron Pigs 5K which is tomorrow. Yesterday I picked up the packets, and the map was inside. So we walked the route today! It took 50 minutes and we did not power walking at all.

Most of i is in the ball park, but both the run and the 5K take the hill up to the stadium. The run is also on the American Parkway.

Why is that important? I need to finish in less than 45 minutes tomorrow. I'm signed up as a runner. The walk, which Lyd and Sharon are doing, is only 1.5 miles. Seriously?  On one hand I'm glad that this is a family event—a run, a fun walk and a piglet race for the kids—but there's many people, like me, who would want to do the competitive walk.

So tomorrow for the first time I'll be run-power walk-walking hoping to be finished in time. Maybe it will be the start of something new.

Or maybe it means I'm in much better shape than I think I am. Or maybe both.

I signed up for another cross country race, it's called the Camper Scamper and it's in Horsham. A little bit of a drive, but oh well. The whole walk is in the camp ground. Hopefully the trails are a little more groomed than at the farm. It's Oct. 2.

Next week is the Volkssport Octoberfest "walk" at Bear Creek. It's more like a hike. But it's fun.

Need to do longer walks before the AC Half Marathon.


And I need to buy gum before tomorrow!
