I took a few days off to recover and never went back. The weather here in Florida can go from nice to nasty in seconds but I dipacepd tonight walk one mile. I got a good sweat and felt relaxed.

Pace....the trail I walk is 3 miles.

Oh yeah, today I was rushing around in "do NOT pass "Go", do not collect $200" mode; and I have arch pain like you wouldn't believe.

I may not have walked but a mile total, but I have to take a rain check on Leslie (or any other dance or walk routine) ...
