Today started out really crappy.  I woke up barely able to keep my eyes open long enough to send the kids off to school and then I fell back to sleep on the couch.  Tired was an understatement this morning.  I'm glad I did lay back down because I woke up feeling a lot better. 

I have been meaning to look at apps for my Droid Eris to see if there is anything that I can download that will track the distance I am walking/running when I am at the park.  I finally remembered to do this this morning when I had the time.  I found an app (My Tracks) that had mostly great reviews and the best part...IT'S FREE =)  I downloaded it, grabbed the dog, and out the door I went.  It's a beautiful day! Sunny and 72 degrees.  Perfect for a hike through the trails.  I started the app right at the entrance to the trail, tucked it in my bra (because where else would I carry my phone?), and off I went.  In the end, I had walked 2.08 miles.  Very close to what my friend Stacy had been told.  I was talking to another friend last night at the ballpark who told me about a turn off on the trail where I am missing that last mile of the 5K.  I saw that turn off today.  Yep,  straight up hill.  Umm...I decided to keep on the path I was on.  I'll tackle that hill another day ;)

Cheers!
