Day 8-- 45 divided by 3 for the BIG E.

I cashed all my chips in today and went for a new high.

7:08-- put my daughter on the bus and out I went in full stride.

I am gaining strength, plus my turn times are getting quicker.

I am walking 17 minute miles, well that was in the first 1/2 of the total amount.

From there they gained a minute, then 2 then 3 then at one point I was walking 30 minute miles.

45 divided by 3 was my goal and today as I put the code in the garage door I yelled, that's 15 for you 

ERIN!

Every mile today was a new pace--fast or slow--I was quicker, faster and slower all around today.

As Erin put it, at least you went out and did something.

She sent me an email the other day--explaining she just didn't feel like running, but she laced up her sneakers and got it done.

We can sit around and say life is easy, well when your challenging yourself daily, as Erin does--then sure life is more daunting. She gets up and faces the day head on like a true trooper.

So BIG E--45 divided by 3 was for you today.

April 22 will be here soon--the Carmel Marathon and I WILL be ready.
