OH BOY!!!!

I, um, just volunteered to fill in a leg of WBR.  wow, I've never done it before and I have never met the people  I will be running with so lets see how it goes!
 

Well maybe getting outdoors isn't that great after all. It really has started warming up. We finally got the swamp cooler going but it had a leak, oh joy, and then the vent in the ceiling got knocked out. Ugh, just more work to do.

I think the walking miles are hurting me some right now, but I think I could get used to it. It took me a mile to loosen up and not feel so tight and tired.

mile 1 14:00

mile 2 12:02

mile 3 12:32 (this has a considerable amount of uphill so it is a bit harder.

mile 4 12:25

And 7am is not early enough to run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
