Thinking seriously of skipping the 10K in early March and setting my sights on the 25K Hog's Hunt in Huntsville. I haven't completely made up my mind, I suppose I have a few weeks of training to do before I make my final decision. Part of me says, Heck, run them both! hmmm... not a bad idea... we'll see.
Also, Dirt Runner helped me set up a sort of training schedule so that I have more of a purpose in my runs rather than just running aimlessly. Tonight was the first of these runs and I am not very good at taking down my times as I seem to forget everything! How do you all keep track of your splits? Does your watch do it for you or are your minds sharp enough to recall each mile?
A record of my endeavors to stay healthy so that I can live long enough to see my great-grandchildren, and to prove to the world that there was a reason for my madness...

Hey Karen,
Somehow or other I was able to finally post here (long boring story). Yes, my Garmin (all Garmins) will give you your mile splits. Other people who run a regular route and know where the mile markers are will click their watch to get their splits (which is how I used to do it but not consistently).
Our running club will have several people at the 25k; I'm undecided at this point but getting to meet you finally (and Rick too!) would be an added incentive.
that would be a nice incentive for me as well, Barbara! I guess it's time to invest in that Garmin...oh honey....
