Well, Dan and I are walking every other day and longer distances on Sundays. Last week we walked 21 miles and have decided to follow the guide from a walking website that I found that has been very helpful.
Now I keep track of each and every walk and we skip a day in between the days we walk and the only day that is a long day is on Sunday. On Oct 28th we walked 6 miles and it seemed like a lot to me but I am ready to start building up for the March 2, 2008 El Paso Marathon (remember I am only walking a half marathon 13. 1 miles).
I found some great shoes and clothes at Up and Running and the staff there is great, be sure to ask for Chris Rowley-tell him Patti sent you.
Now back to my real job of selling real estate in El Paso, TX. The market is still a little soft now but homes are selling but taking an average of 90 days but still at about 97% of list price to sales price ratio.

El Paso 1/2 Marathon- I am going to walk it!!!!!!!
Wow, what a commitment I am making, mostly to myself, but I have decided that I am going to walk the half marathon on March 2, 2008. I have lots of family and friends supporting me and for that I am very grateful.
Each morning I am walking and today Dan and I walked 4 miles in a little over an hour. I am trying to keep it at 15 min. miles so that it won't take me forever to walk the half marathon.
On Sunday I will walk about 4.6 miles and then soak my feet for hours. I have a training schedule that I am following and I am really excited about this. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

What a great day it is today
As I walked this morning at about 5:30 AM (yes that is pretty early) I realized how grateful I was that it was going to be a beautiful day. The stars are still out and the city is twinkling with the lights that homeowners leave on for the night.
The birds are starting to chirp and the dogs are waking up and barking but the serenity and peacefulness that I find at that hour are phenomenal.
I have decided that I am going to try and train to walk a one half marathon (13 miles yikes). There is one coming up in March 2008 in El Paso so my work is cut out for me for sure.
My walking helps ease the stress that can come when the real estate market in El Paso slows down a little as it has right now. I know that things will change as the market will always have its ups and downs and the ones that have been there before know that and just work a little harder.
Hang in there everyone.
