walking without tracking miles

I walked today and a couple of days ago, but outside without the Garmin. A few miles, not long walks.

crickey! december tomorrow

My goal for the next month will be to get back to a regular schedule, stave off injuries, and pick a new race to train for in 2010. I am considering one in March and one in July, or possibly just one in May.

3 miles

a mile or so yesterday (around the park and elementary school near us)

three miles today

3 miles

3 miles, with some incline

feels good to be getting back into the swing of working out

3.17 miles

getting back to it....

4.20

Four miles. Trying to do a little bit "take it easy" for my hip (ouch!!!) and a little bit "walk it out" for my overall recovery.

2 miles

Two miles...my hip hurt the whole time. Grr.

torrential rains

Went walking with a hooded rain jacket and rain boots, but still had to turn back...soaked through the small bit of uncovered jeans. The baby was dry and just fine in his jogging stroller with rain cover.

So...maybe 3/4 of a mile today? It was all I could do. Weather was wretched all day.

3 miles

getting back to walking...maintenance plan for this week will be 3 mile walks

my left hip hurt a bit for most of today's walk, but not once I stopped...I went pretty slow...

awesome!

The race was awesome. I walked way faster than I have in training--just over a 15 minute mile average for the half marathon.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

race day: tomorrow!

I'm psyched. I hope all goes well tomorrow. I'm getting all my gear ready and making mac 'n' cheese for dinner.

tuesday: one hour

slow, one hour

lovely cool weather finally

monday: 25 minute walk

slow, short

T minus One Week

So I'm psyched for the race in just a week from tomorrow! And I'm already looking at maintenance plans for how to walk in between races.

5.3 Miles

Feeling pretty good. It's hot out.

4.4 miles

feeling good

3.7 miles

hot hot hot

one mile

one mile recovery walk

11 miles

That's right. Eleven miles. I am ready to kick butt at the half marathon in...two weeks!

Two bottles of Cytomax were my only fuel, so two or three bottles and a sandwich should be good for the race. I am so craving protein now...fried eggs maybe.

6 miles

a little more than six miles on the treadmill
knock on wood, but not much pain

6 miles

a little over 6 miles
my ankle hurts
I'm hobbling
damn

so laaaaaazy

not working out and eating bad food...ugh

6.5 miles

I did 6.3 miles plus some amount which I can't report because I turned off the Garmin and forgot to turn it back on right away. So 6.3 plus what I think was a quarter mile.

three and a half weeks to go

I can't believe the race is in less than four weeks. I'm excited. I think I'll be able to do it. I've been varying my training and getting outdoors more. The heat is a challenge. But having a jogging stroller is a huge help. With a sunshade for the baby.

ETA: The Garmin also rocks. Easy to do a couple of walks and report on my total day's milage. Woooooo!

two and a half miles

a little over two and a half miles....it's HOT out

2 miles

forgot to post yesterday
only two miles total for the day
outside with jogging stroller

rest day...aaaaaaaah

I'm LOVING these!

wish we had a jogging pram
wish those existed

Thursday: 1.5 miles

knee hurt (left knee)

NOTE TO SELF: Stop carrying the baby on my right hip. My left knee hurts as a result. Get the stroller in the car and use it every day.

hmm

it may just not happen today...but we did walk around the mall this morning and I'm cleaning the house...We'll call that "cross training."

to a preschool, around the park, around the zoo

I think I did enough for today.

I am training to WALK a half marathon. I have eight weeks and I plan to do long walks on Saturdays, but that will be as my schedule allows.

Here are my miles.
