5,000 meters!

Well, I should have written more often. I have been walking though - I did NOT quit!
While I missed participating in the Toad Suck 5K, I did participate in the Holy, Healthy 5K at the Annual Conference of the Arkansas United Methodists. I finished absolutely last.
But, in my defense, I started nearly last; I walked all 5K; some of those who began did not finish (if they had I would not have been last); some who participated took short cuts (who knows, I might have finished before them) and didn't walk or run a full 5K. And, I did finish in the time frame I expected - one hour. That is not terrible for a fifty-something fat boy!!
Actually all of the walking has motivated me to ride my bicycle more. Alex, my grandson, also helped to motivate me. It is fun to ride bicycles with a four-year-old. He pedals as fast and hard as he can and says, "Look! I'm going real fast!"
I could not have done so well at the Holy, Healthy 5K if it had not been for my "Walking Vacation." I'll tell you about it next time.
