Had you asked me Thursday if I was going to run this weekend, my answer would have been "yes". However, looking at my mileage for the week, I noticed that it was over my planned mileage for week 1 of my 1/2 training plan. So I ended up doing much needed work in my backyard mainly this weekend. Since the Garmin went unused, I fired it up this afternoon to see what kind of pace my 2 dogs walk. I've been thinking about doing this for the past month but finally remembered to do it today. I usually think about while walking my 15 year old lab/chow mix. Come to find out, I have alot of time to think while walking her as her average pace for the 1/2 mile that we walked was 41:45. As I suspected, she really picked up the pace on the back of the out & back; we were at a pace over 47 minutes when we turned around. Most of the sniffing takes place on the way out.
On the other end of the spectrum, Waldo walked an average pace per mile of 13:28 in a lap around Queenscliff Circle. Waldo is playing with one of the sprinklers Friday after I mowed. At the time I had no idea that he'd be the "before" pic of my weekend project.
Three trips to Home Depot later and a few hours pulling St Augustine grass, I actually have beds along the side of my house again.
