DAY 3 - We met a little earlier today because I had to be at my phone at 11 to call Jury Duty. Today there were only 5 of us: Jan E, Louise C, Gail K, Sabrina P and me. I actually ran 4 straight laps - that's 1 full mile - all at one time! Jan ran with me part of the time while Louise "totally" power walked her butt off! She's the pace keeper! Gail joined us for the first time and did great. Sabrina joined us 20 minutes later and she & I walked/ran the rest together (after she did a half mile run and I walked).

I recommend you don't bring a lot of stuff with you. Find a place to hide your key on your body (like tie it to your shoe lace or put it in your bra!) and that way you'll have nothing in your way. If you drink some water before you come and some when you are done you will probably be just fine. I read we are designed to go a lonnnng distance without water.

So ultimately, I walked/ran for 50 minutes - probably 1.5 miles run and (lost count) walk. Today we were joined by fire fighters (including Olga, Tara) and a TON of elementary school kids. It's a mini-sub-culture of its own!

We will be running/walking/trotting/jogging next Monday/Wednesday 10:30 AM SBCC track! I am expecting all of you who said you were coming and haven't shown up yet... Now DON'T make me write your names down...
