NEW PR

Congratulations on the new pr!! Way to go!

I did a 3.2 mile walk today, in cold, drizzly weather along back beach road around Port Chalmers. It felt great - I love walking in cold, rainy weather as long as I keep warm and the rain doesn't drip in my eyes.

I also got new shoes today, with more support. I can get my orthotics in them but I am unconvinced the orthotics are actually right for my feet. the official Tiger Bombers hiking group is now down to 2 1/2, with Wendy and myself set for the whole shebang and Denny, her fiance (they met during the formation of the group) settled that his knees won't let him keep up with us. We started at 13, I believe, about 7 months ago. My average speed over the 3 miles was 19 min miles, which is good for me. When I'm carrying a pack and walking on uneven ground I expect the avg over long distances to fall to closer to 45 min miles. But who's counting?

In spite of foot problems, leg problems, back problems, I seem to be holding together, with the occasional Vit I. Nothing major, so I am encouraged. Now I just need to build up my mileage...
