Promises, promises

Despite my promises, I wasn’t able to go for a 14 mile training walk. I went around once at a 13.16 minute/mile pace and then went around one more time, hoping to do better. And by the time I reached the 3 mile point, I could tell that my muscles were tightening up, not relaxing as hoped for. (After doing 18 miles on Tuesday, I should have taken a 2 day break.) I decided to cool it and come in early and at the 10.41 mile marker, with a 13.28 pace, I turned and walked the rest of the way back to the truck. I still ended up with a total distance walked of 11.67 miles and at 4.5 mph.
