Walking?

Here's a concept....walking....did over three miles today.  Just following Hal Higdon's advise.  I actually don't think I have walked in at least 18 months!  It was a nice change of pace being out there today.  One thing I do notice.  It's much cooler outside when you're walking than when you are running.

-------------------------------

Seriously, how long does it take to post digital photo's to your website?  The marathon photos are supposed to be up by today.  The event was almost a week ago for crying out loud!!!  Give me my photos Action Sports Images.  Can't say I'm too impressed with this company.  I sure hope their photographer ability is better than their timing on getting photos on their website.

-------------------------------

Well my next scheduled race was going to be in the end of July but I just can't wait that long.  So.......I'm going to sign up for just the 10k of the Solstice Run in Northville.  I would do the 10 miler like I did last year but it's a very hilly and challenging course and I'm really not ready for hill training yet.  One bonus - you even get a medal in the 10k!  Take a look.  They are doing a Hawaiian theme this year - cool!

I think the medal looks pretty cool.  The shirt is not bad either:

I read a lot of reviews of this last year and it got some pretty bad reviews.  I personally thought that overall the race was run fairly well.  They probably needed a few people to direct people getting there and perhaps have a few more port-o-potties but other than that, the race was nice, the course was challenging and the end on a track was good.  They also end with an expo right at the end of the race which I thought was also really nice.  So for me, I think I'll do this one.

Question of the day?  Do you feel you're missing out if you did a longer race last year than this year for the same race?  10 mile vs. 10k.  I kind of feel like I'm missing out but know I'm not ready for 10 hilly miles.


Have a great day and......Keep Running!!!!!
