Progress - yes!!!!!

Ellyn Ritterskamp

I had been in a holding pattern with my 2-mile runs/walks. Stuck still close to 40 minutes, and wanting to speed that up by July for a triathlon, to 30 minutes.

Today, my mom went with me, and we knocked it out in 35 minutes!

2 keys to victory: we walked several minutes before arriving at the track, so we were warmed up. Also, we sang marching-appropriate songs - Mom is working on "Be Our Guest" for a school production of Beauty and the Beast, and we also did "If Ya Don't Mind My Sayin'" from The Music Man. We needed oxygen after that one...

Awesome.
