Health knowledge made personal

kind-of-accidentally found myself doing a slow, consistent " marathon shuffle " - a term I learned from a running buddy who helped me find my way toward longer distances a few years ago. My pace was super-slow, but incredibly consistent, and I continued it for nearly all of my run. Now THAT was something new for me, indeed! And, it felt pretty darn good!!  |

Okay, so I wasn't really running naked (thank goodness!), but when my Timex running watch bit the dust 15 minutes into today's run, I felt, well... naked!
Being an interval runner, I rely on my watch and its methodical beeping to let me know when to run and when to walk, but today turned out to be entirely different.
And .... I was pleasantly (mostly) surprised at what happened next. Let's call it making lemonade out of lemons ....
On the down side, I had no way to track my time and no way to track intervals.
On the up side, though, I quickly discovered that without the watch's beeping, I was free to improvise - running and walking when I wanted. This could have been a negative, but instead it went something like this....
