A Slow Week

And I don't mean a slow walk!
The week after my Subiaco respite I continued walking at the gym. One day I decided that since I was behind on my Read-the-Bible-in-a Year plan, then I would take all the pages I had missed to the gym with me and read while I was walking on the treadmill. Since I knew it would take SEVERAL minutes, I chose to walk at least 45 minutes of intervals. My logic was that it would be good practice for the Toad Suck 5K since my goal is to finish that in less than 48 minutes. Sometimes there are flaws in one's logic.
My first mistake was thinking that reading and walking on a treadmill would be like walking on the streets of Conway. Reading and walking is a challenge on a treadmill - I will NOT do that during the Toad Suck 5K. The second miscalculation in my plan was thinking that I could read quickly while walking. It just didn't happen! But, I did walk for 47 minutes. I did not go 3.1 miles.
This week, however, I have been a bit lazy. I have not walked any more than or farther than what is normal and usual in a day. Next week I'll get back to exercising in some form. The weeds have grown to mowing level, so I may get in some walking by mowing those.
Also, I have decided to enter the Tour de Cure - Little Rock. The Tour de Cure is a series of fundraising cycling events held in 44 states nationwide to benefit the American Diabetes Association. I think I will participate in the 20 mile ride which begins at 8:30 a.m. April 14.
