GREAT NEWS AND NOT SO GREAT NEWS....

I received a call from my Aunt Therese (she has participated in the Indy Mini in the past). She informed me that the minimum mile time requirement (for walkers) is an 18 minute mile--woohoo! I am already better than that. I have been striving toward a 15 minute mile for some time now.

She was very encouraging--I am even more anxious about joining the Wabash Valley Road Runners to do their pre-training program.

The not so great news--I was at the gym tonight, pouring sweat, smelling like Nathaniel (who was it that said, "a lady doesn't sweat, she glistens"?). There was a gal there about my age jumping rope--she had the most killer, kick a$$ legs (I was so jealous of her legs I couldn't stop looking at them--she probably thought I was of an "alternative lifestyle"). I flat out told her I was jealous of her legs and asked how she accomplished them. She was really sweet and gave me all her "secrets" then she finished by saying it has taken about 3 YEARS!!!! Oh My God!! My attention span doesn't last that long!!!
