Training Log - January 28, 2008

They say that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. That's not the road I want to start going down because it is the start of a gradual turning away from my goals. SO ....... today I took a step back on the correct path. That's right -- three weeks after my last walk, I returned to the paths of Creekside Park.

Of course, it's always easier to take that step when it is sunny and 37 degrees rather that cloudy and 20 degrees with a wind chill in the single digits. But I'll take my victories where I can find them.

I decided that since I am coming off the ankle "injury" ( I still haven't heard the results of last week's X-ray!!!) and a 3 week hiatus that I would start with an easy 2 mile walk. The ankle did OK. It is still a little stiff and still aches at times - like now sitting at my desk. I completed the walk in 35:44 with a pace of 17:52 min/mile. The split times were 17:40 for mile 1 and 18:04 for mile 2.
