I'm still planning to do the 5K for the Somerville Homeless Coalition on October 1. But I've scaled down my goal drastically ( Read more... )

walking is excellent :)

that said, if you threw in a minute or two of jog along the way, i strongly suspect you'd be running 5k by october...

Perhaps I'll try it. I think first I want to get my walking speed consistently high, though.

And I'm sorry I haven't commented on a lot of your recent entries. Not knowing the people involved, I didn't think it was my place.

you could comment based on the content, anyway; that doesn't require that you know anybody. it is mostly plain direct quotes (i make my editorial notes distinct) so that might help. but of course you don't have to!

i *would* still suggest trying a minute or two of jogging anyway. it's different for the body, which is a good thing, esp. over longer distances. and i wouldn't worry so much about getting your walking speed up either -- you aren't training for a race, but for your community's good and your own body's. but this is just my tuppence, as your fellow mover-in-the-world :)

I recently discovered there is a Planet Fitness right on the other side of Quincy Center, and was considering rejoining. If I do, it will let me take a guest in every visit at my home location. Getting to Quincy Center is not easy (you are either going up to JFK/UMass or walking 10 minutes to catch the 215), but when I rejoin in late september, if you want to come over here, I will be glad of the company (and I will help you with those stupid visual only interfaces and in the circuit training path).

I imagine I'll be going to our normal gym most of the time, but it would be fun to work out with you once in a while. Let me know when you've rejoined. And yes, it's always nice to get help with all that visual stuff. The reason thorbol and I joined the pricey BSC is because a) their locations tend to be extremely close to the T, and b) they actually have people around to help us.

I'd love to! When do you usually go?

thorbol and I will be there in a couple of hours, by the way, if you're interested in meeting us there. Then you could meet my wonderful sweetiemeister! (And he'd like to meet you, too: I think he wants to ask you about aikido.)
