http://walk-magazine.blogspot.com/2012/10/columbus-marathon-half-review.html
Monday, October 22, 2012. Columbus Marathon (Half) Review. Buckeye Striders from left to right: Barb, Cindy K, Deb, Nancy, me and Pat. The temps were in the low 40s as my friends and I headed to the start of the Columbus Marathon at 6:30 Sunday morning. Though chilly, the skies were clear and there was no wind. It looked like it would be a perfect day for a half marathon! The women's half marathon shirt. With medal and bib. Around mile 4 I started to move ahead of them. We also met a nice powerwalker...

WALK! Magazine: What Does Goal Weight Mean?
http://walk-magazine.blogspot.com/2012/08/what-does-goal-weight-mean.html
Saturday, August 25, 2012. What Does Goal Weight Mean? Several years ago I weighed myself dozens of times a day. About a year ago I decided to lose a couple of pounds to improve my racewalking speed. Losing about. So imagine my surprise when I weighed myself yesterday and I am at my goal weight! The whole truth is, I am 0.1 lbs. away, but that is close enough.) I have finally lost the pesky 2 lbs! Then a light bulb went off. I should have known this all along, but it was never as obvious as it was at...

WALK! Magazine: I Thought it was Hot in Ohio!
http://walk-magazine.blogspot.com/2012/08/i-thought-it-was-hot-in-ohio.html
Sunday, August 05, 2012. I Thought it was Hot in Ohio! We are in Oklahoma for a family reunion. Most of my husband's family lives west of the Mississippi with many of them in Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas and Arkansas. (My in-laws were from Cherokee, OK.). I knew it tends to be hotter out here in the plains states than it is in the midwest - the reunion we attended in Kansas a few years back was toasty! This hill felt like a mountain after 28 min. Walking in the Oklahoma heat. This park really is beautiful....

http://walk-magazine.blogspot.com/2012/10/race-review-cat-caper-5k.html
Tuesday, October 02, 2012. Race Review - Cat Caper 5K. Sunday, September 30 I entered the Cat Caper 5K Race. Because I am not a cat person, I have never entered this race before. However, a friend of mine is the race director so a bunch of us entered this year. This 5K is such a fun event, I wish I had entered years earlier! There were more than 400 people in the race and a large number were walkers.There were at least 10 Buckeye Striders entered. The course was challenging! And its editor, me, Cindi Lee...

WALK! Magazine: Tips for Next Year's Air Force Marathon
http://walk-magazine.blogspot.com/2012/09/tips-for-next-years-air-force-marathon.html
Sunday, September 16, 2012. Tips for Next Year's Air Force Marathon. Make hotel reservations early. The close hotels fill up fast. Go to the pasta dinner. The food is delicious and the speakers are usually very good. Besides, the local restaurants are typically packed. If you get closed out of the pasta dinner, post a note on the Air Force Marathon Facebook page, and you might be able to get one that isn't being used. The expo can be tight. Try to arrive at an off hour. That's all I can think of right now.

Sunday, September 16, 2012. Air Force Marathon/Half Review. The weather was beautiful for yesterday's Air Force Marathon! The temperature was about 50 when we arrived at the parking lot about 90 minutes before the start of the half marathon. The full marathon started at 7:30, the half at 8:30. Deb, me and Elaine at the start. As we walked to the start line, we saw this year's featured plane - the B-2 Spirit - fly over the full marathon starting line. It was so low! What an amazing aircraft! We had a flyo...

WALK! Magazine: August 2012
http://walk-magazine.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 26, 2012. Getting Back on Track. Sharon Woods is always. Beautiful. The shade really helped. Today I went to Sharon Woods for an 8-mile long-distance training walk. As I've mentioned before, my training is a little bit off right now, so 8 miles is a pretty good stepping stone for getting back on track. Leaves of three, let them be? I think this is poison ivy. Another sign I need to improve my training? And those miles didn't feel easy, either. After the 2-mile mark,. Links to this post.

WALK! Magazine: Singing in the Rain
http://walk-magazine.blogspot.com/2012/09/singing-in-rain.html
Sunday, September 02, 2012. Singing in the Rain. It was very humid and overcast today as several of the Buckeye Striders met at 7:00 Saturday morning to do our long mileage on the Olentangy Trail. For three of us, this is our last long day before the Air Force Half Marathon in two weeks. (Everyone else is training for Columbus, already.) That meant we were doing 10 miles while everyone else was doing 8. There were a ton of marathon training groups on the trail! I love marathon training season. We tried t...
