The Half Iron Grandma

Day 5 November 3rd I signed up to use the ShowLow Aquatics Center today!  Yeah!!!!  They have lap swimming in the morning, so next week I'll begin! I am a little nervous,  OK, a whole lot nervous, about showing up in a public place in a swimming suit, but I have to do this if I am going to be ready for next summer, right?  I can do this!!!  At least, I keep telling myself I can. I power-walked 4 miles this afternoon in just over an hour.

Day 4 November 2nd I never exercise on Thursdays, Moe and I serve in the Snowflake Arizona Temple on Thursday till 1:00, and I visit a special friend on Thursday afternoons.  She had a stroke 4 or 5 years ago and is mostly home bound and pretty lonely.   Anyway,  I missed walking yesterday.  During the summer there is still enough daylight left to walk in the evenings, but not this time of year. Today I tried power-walking again, and I think I may have shaved a few minutes off my time.  Still, it took me just over an hour to go 4 miles, and if I'm going to walk/jog 13.1 miles in under 3 hours I'm going to have to really pick up the pace.
