Week 4

Me
We did it! 6 miles through beautiful Sugar Creek subdivision. My recruits, Marty, Nurith and Beverly were way ahead of me today. I could barely keep up with Nurith, but Marty and Beverly passed us early on.

We started out at 6:05am in the dark. The weather was perfect for an August morning. The sun rose as we were walking, displaying a beautiful orange orb surrounded by pink and orange clouds. This morning's time was just over a 16 minute mile. I can't tell you how good it feels to know that you can walk this far and this fast. That 26.2 miles for the Houston Marathon is just starting to appear to be in the realm of possibility. It better be, as I've already signed up to walk it.
