Longer

2.05 miles in 32 minutes X seconds. 
Joe walked with me tonight.  I was reminded how long his legs are compared to mine. Oy.

Electricity

2 miles- 30 minutes 44 seconds

Today in school we were learning how electricity moves.  We learned the definition of Conductor, Insulator, and Resistor.  The kids were just not getting it, so I used football as a metaphor.  I gave them scenarios of how a quarterback could burst through quickly to the end zone (conductor).  How a large blocker guy could immediately stop a quarterback from moving (Insulator) and how a tiny blocker guy being dragged by a huge guy carrying the football would slow down the huge guy. (Resistor).  I think when I threw in sports they got it.   YAY science!   side note- Do not make fun of me on my football terms.  It was good enough for kids.

Tired

3.95 miles in 1 hour and 7 minutes. Averaged about 17 minutes a mile.
Tired.

slowly

I am getting better.  Slowly..... I decided to do a short distance wog.  1 mile and that was it.  My goal was under 15 minutes.  Knowing that it would only be a mile of torture, I pushed my lungs and was a able to do one mile in 12 minutes and 56 seconds.  I wanted to keel over but my body didn't hurt.  I just need to get these lungs in a better breathing pattern.  Slowly....

Awakening

Tuesday night I had a random moment.  After not walking or "wogging" since November, my friend Donna has been pushing me out the door this last week and a half.  Saturday night we walked from my house to Subway and back.  It was around 4 miles, I have no idea how long it took. Then Tuesday she came over around 7:00.  I said should we go for a long walk?  She said sure.  So by the light of the moon, we walked from my house to my mom's house.  It ended out to be a 4.7 mile walk.  We left at 7:15 and got there at 8:30.  Not too shabby since we were crossing random streets and walking in soft powder farm roads. 

Tonight we decided to only go two miles but to get our time faster.  My average is 17 minutes and 30 seconds a mile.  Tonight it was 15!  Yay I am faster. That was my best time for two consecutive miles.  Boo my time still sucks.  Oh well, we have a 5K in March that we should be ready for.

Dear world,
I can't find my art portfolio.  It is a picture album where I took pictures of almost all the art I have ever created including; drawings, paintings, burns, cakes, quilts, costumes etc.  I fear I took it to someone's house and left it there.  Unfortunately I do not know when it happened.  If it is at your home, it is a blue photo album with a picture of a flower on the front.

Thanks
Sad artist.
