I have used Map My Run for about 5-1/2 years. I used my phone until Dec ‘20 when I bought my first ever smart watch. (Apple) I love the freedom of not having a phone on my hip or arm. I had not ever considered journaling. I review my history on MMR periodically but not a lot of details. I will try to start doing that. Great idea!

I have my first half of the season this Sun. The Cincinnati Heart walk. Benefits the AHA. I am not nearly ready for it but will just slow down if I have to. I am excited to get the season started and look forward to at least 2 more this year!

The Cincinnati Flying Pig in May. It was my first full in ‘16 but have never done the half. Other is Air Force in Sept. my 2nd full in ‘16. Have done the half once and haven’t decided if I will stick with that or go back to full.

Thanks! And I forgot to mention, the starting temp is forecast at about 17. By far will be the coldest race I’ve ever done. And we’re supposed to get 1-2” of snow tonight. Yes, I do love living in the north. It will just be a little more challenging.

It ended up being 20 with 12 wind chill when race started. 5 degrees warmer on both of those at the end. It was pretty tough with my minimal prep over the winter but I finished a little better than I hoped. Time to get ready for May’s Flying Pig half!
