WoodwayTreadmill: 28:16, 2.0 miles, 4.2 mph, HR=156. I’m anxious to pick up my “Girls”. It’s just too quiet around here without them. They took Gracie to the Vet for a sore/stiff neck. We’ve noticed that recently, but not so bad as to require a trip to the Vet. With the exception of one bark, Gracie was quiet and calm in the car on the way home. Typically, she hates the car and makes the trip very unpleasant.

We arrived home just before 11 last night. It’s nice to have a day to regroup. And do laundry.

This morning finds us in Flagstaff,AZ: I was so excited about breakfast after our walk, that I forgot to stop the timer on my GPS. We needed a car wash, but freezing rain/slush wasn’t what I had in mind. But, it did the job and was free!

Dalhart,TX: 37:47, 2.35 miles, 3.5 mph, HR=130. I’m glad I don’t live in Dalhart,TX.

Marysville,KS: 36:47, 2.23 miles, 3.6 mph, HR=143. Marysville, Kansas is the black squirrel capital of the USA, yet we didn’t see a single one.

Registration for Tour De Tonka 2011 opened today! Last year we proved we could ride 100 miles with very little training. I think this year we’ll do the 70 mile route. And, then again . . .
