I didn't go yesterday even though I said I would. I tried a little walking on the treadmill and my jaw started throbbing so I stopped. I was bummed.
I talked with a friend and she suggested that I take the ibuprofen right before I head out. as this might help dull the pain.
I sure hope so. Fingers crossed.
I'm also going to go to a different park today. It's called Memorial Park. It's a really popluar place in Houston for runner's and walker's. From what I have been told the loop around the park is 3.1 miles, which is perfect! My goal is to make it all the way around in 50 min or less.
Yes that is a long time, but it is only the second time I have tried that distance. Last time I did it in 50:37. Alex, my oldest, and Mae, our dog, was with me; numerous complaints and doggy doo stops slowed me down a bit I'm sure. Alex is 18, but the way she complained you'd have thought she was 95! Hahaha! I guess speed walking isn't her thing.

She's a dancer. She's on the Senior Slam team @ Planet Funk Academy. She's been with them for about 5 or so years. The above photo was taken after their performance last year at the Health and Fitness expo during the Houston Marathon weekend. They are performing again this year, the same day I do the 5k.
I'm actually sitting in a class she likes to take while I write this.

Class is almost over so I'd better go.
Wish me luck on my run/walk intervals today.
Got to run...
