See Dianne Run

Karen was sneaky. She pushed the right buttons to motivate me to run.

She was contacted by a new runner. Who lives nearby me. Who needs an experienced runner to get her started. Who runs slowly, at about a run 1 /walk 1 pace.

So today we finally got together and ran. We started at 7:30pm, which was about perfect. The heat of the day had passed, the evening breeze had started, most sidewalks were in shade.

We tested run 1/ walk 1. It worked. So we stuck to that for about 10 repeats, and walked the rest. It wasn't much running, but it was enough to get us moving.

That counts as 10x2 + 43x1 = 63 units. Not bad for one workout. (do I get extra credit for pushing a stroller?)

Definitely. Extra credit for the stroller, and also extra credit for getting out with "my" newbie.

Do it aGAIN! :)

Sounds like a workout to me, especially with a stroller.
