I know I'll reach senior citizen status soon, but this article made me realize I've lived through five different types of music players: vinyl records, eight track tapes, cassette tapes, CDs and now digital music. Makes me feel as though I should be at least a hundred years old.

Four Mile Walk - Just for Fun
I'm inspired by my daughter-in-law to occasionally go for a walk and just enjoy the scenery. I'm usually inserting running intervals and chasing that elusive dream of running faster than I did the last time out. Today I walked down by the now-almost-dried-up lakebed. A gentle breeze was blowing and I thoroughly enjoyed the hour.

Another Nice Spring Walk
I did a 4.8 mile walk/run today. I was cold for the first mile or so, then warned up fast. I'm trying to shave a few more seconds off my pace, so I decreased my walking intervals from 3.5 minutes to 3 minutes. I feel the difference in my breathing, but my legs and feet are taking the change well. I hope to get down to 2.5 minute walking intervals by my next half marathon at the end of May.

Is Spring Finally Here?
The first half of this week was 32 degrees - cold and snowy. The last two days seemed more like spring weather. It got to 70 today. I did five miles this afternoon after taking a few days off because of a sore throat. I wanted to keep walking but figured I had better not push myself too hard right after battling a cold. It was gorgeous out there today!
