  • What : recovery walk
  • Time: 41:03 minutes

  • Lap Times:4:39, 4:27, 4:27, 4:31, 4:34
  • Minutes/mile: 18.1
Today we did a recovery walk for a few reasons. 1) We haven't done an exercise walk in a while. 2) It was hot hot hot and humid and looked like it would downpour at any second. 3) Mike got food poisoning last night and was up for a couple of hours vomitting. I was fetching water and listening in horror. So not a great day for real exercise, but we got out there and moved for a little while. We were going to walk the long loop which is about the same total distance (2 miles), but since the skies were threatening, we stuck to the track.

I hopped on the scale this morning and saw a total of 39 lbs lost. It was an encouraging sight.

Tomorrow I go to the doctor for a physical. I have a list of things to talk about but the most important are "Is it ok for me to start running?" and "Am I anemic?" I am a little nervous she will tell me not to run.
