Day 22

The countdown continues...Today I will do a fast walk, trying to get in 6 miles at a 4.8 or 4.9 mph pace. Short walks, medium and long walks, they all add up for improved fitness for the marathon. I did the first marathon at a 14.389 minute per mile pace and I'm hoping to better that. If I can keep up a 4.5 mph pace I will be at 13.3 minutes per mile and could finish the marathon in 5.82 hours.

On another note...I lost the toe nail on my right big toe. It doesn't hurt at all, even when I walked yesterday, so I don't expect it to bother me during the marathon. But, it is ugly! There is lots of dark blood under the skin, somewhat like a blood blister, from the injury I did to it.
