Sunday: Asked Keith to drive the route I wanted to walk as we came home from dinner. Of course this was not nearly accurate enough for Mr. Numbers. He got his GPS out and determined what the starting point was... tens of yards from my closet where I slipped on my shoes which is my starting point. As we walked he tracked pace speed, wind direction, breathing rates, mileage, elapsed time, distance from the new moon, change in elevation (in our flat subdivision), and on and on. After we had done a lap, I asked him to measure how far it was to the end of our street and back. At the end of the block we had to stop precisely where we had crossed on our previous lap. He said the additional amount added .08 miles to the walk. I said "Good, now if I want to add an extra tenth of a mile I can walk to the end of the block". Of course, i was corrected and told that I would be adding .08 of a mile. I am married to Monk. Walked about half a mile in a little over 15 minutes. I am sure a correction will be forth-coming to improve the accuracy of this posting.

Might mention that he told me that at the pace I walked I could do the Capital 10k in a little over three hours if I wanted. Always nice to get some good news!
What a fantastic and funny post to start off my Monday morning! Love it!
Debbie, I haven't had a chance to welcome you to the group! So...Welcome to the group!The best thing about this is that each of us has our own goals and challenges but the main thing is we can help each other along the way. Someting about misery loves company I think. Anyway, I think it's awesome you're here.
