Sunday Training

I didn't get the 6 miles I was supposed to. More like 4. But it was Mother's Day, and I wanted to spend it with my kids, not out walking about, so we did a nature walk. It was a beautiful walk! I took a picture, I'll post it soon!

Training total: 120 miles

Saturday Training

I spent the day at my Dad's getting ready for the next garage sale (next weekend, coming up quickly!). So I walked with 2 of my sisters, thank goodness, since it was an 8 mile walk. We ended up doing almost 9, since apparently the stinking at estimating is genetic. My hips were starting to hurt a little by the end, but I rolled them wan they were much better. And I had none of the blister issues the other two were having, so I was happy!

Total training mileage: 116 miles+

Wednesday and Thursday

I cross-trained on Wednesday (shocking, I know!) I went out and pulled weeds. Now, that may not sound like cross-training, but my bum will argue that point with you. And my arms will back it up. There were some decently resistant weeds!

Thursday got away from me. My cousin came out and we worked on some jewelry repair and creation, so I ran out of time to run the couple of errands I needed to run. That meant they had to be done after dinner, which left walking out. It is one of the trickier things to fit in. If it was a half hour, it wouldn't be so hard, but 5 miles takes close to 90 minutes when all is said and done, and that is harder to squeeze in!

Mileage update

I just went back and added up my mileage. Since I started this blog (which was not when I started training) I have walked nearly 106.95 miles. I'm just gonna say 107. That is in about 2 months. Not bad! It should have been more, if I had done all the walks at the lengths they should have been, but I'll take what I have.

107 miles in and counting.....

Tuesday Training

I managed to get 2 miles in. My shins didn't hurt at all, so maybe the resting last week was a good thing! I walked from my house to a meeting I had regarding an upcoming fundraiser--Craft for a Cause. It is basically a one day crafting retreat. It;ll bring in a little bit of money, I hope! I got a ride home, since it was after 10 by then.

Week 8

Week 8 didn't go so well. I did the 2 miles Wednesday, and I did 2 miles on Saturday. That was it. I had a cold on Sunday (that thankfully seems to be short-lived), but I had no desire to walk. And the rest of the week I was just lazy or busy! Sigh. I best get back on track....

Week 9 plan

A little late....

Monday--Rest (I did that, no problem)

Tuesday--3 miles

Wednesday--15 minutes cross-training (I can't seem to get that in...)

Thursday--5 miles

Friday--30 minutes cross-training (if I can't get in 15 minutes, I doubt I'll get in 30!)

Saturday--8 miles

Sunday--6 miles

The first 10 mile walk appears on the schedule next week.....
