Fast laps

It didn't start out as a particularly fast walk, but it sure ended up that way. When we began, Jill was having a problem with her Achilles tendon. We hadn't stretched before walking and that might have had something to do with it. But after that problem eased, we began to hit our stride, doing five miles in 59:38. When we hit the 6.33 round trip mark we were at 1:18. We then continued on and finished with 8 miles completed at an average of 12:08 minutes per mile. Now that's a good time!

Let's see, if we could do 26.2 miles at that pace...we would (potentially) have a 5:24 marathon time. We did Portland 2005 with a 5:56 time.
