Wednesday was track training, more round and round along with some strengthening exercises. We walked on our heels, we walked on our toes, we lunged walked (well, they did, my knees said no f'n way missy) and we walked backwards. We speed walked up a hill, then went round and round and round. At least I didn't hit Taco Bell on the way home.......

Today was a mentor led walk. Usually these are easier. One and a half hours, on a not so flat trail. No huge hills either, just a lot of gradual ups and downs. My knees are not happy campers today.

Sock testing! Teko socks did not make the cut. Oh well, so much for the green alternative. I still have a pair of DeFeet Cush3D and WigWam Tail Wind Pro to try. And the wonderful SadieKate has sent me sox via jobob to try. Yay for sox!

Bonehead move of the week. I tried using the sunglasses I use for cycling on these treks -- they just didn't work right. So I go online and order some lovely Tifosi glasses from TE. The following night, I'm watching TV, and I see a glass case on the bottom shelf of the cabinet. ?!? What are those? Open the case------it's the exact same pair of sunglasses I just ordered. I'll return them, I may upgrade to the ones with the fototec lenes.

Good news, I've raised more than half of my minimum -- for that I get a lovely TNT Sweat shirt. Better news - one of my team mates, and an Honoree was told this week that she has gone into remission. Yay!!!

Tuesday starts hill training.
