the weather finally warmed up enough to walk outdoors again - although "warm" is a relative term here, as it was 24-degrees while we walked.  it's been in the below-zeros for days, and that's when i'm grateful for my "loaner" treadmill.  It isn't the same as walking outdoors & chatting with friends, but it's great to be able to stay on course.  I am looking for a sponsor for the $125 entry fee for the Fleet Feet No Boundaries 5K training.  I asked Chobani Yogurt (my favorite!!) and will see what happens.  most larger companies only give to big groups, and I get that.  But I'm hoping someone will see value in what I'm doing enough to sponsor all or part of the fee.  I have a few weeks before the deadline to pay. Today's walk was good - it was a trail we've walked before, and it took a good 90 minutes.  Heart rate up, but not running.  steady goes the course, as they say.  I'm off to a Health & Wellness Fair near my house - maybe I can get a sponsor there!
