Training

Well...I'm at it again.  I have another goal.  Well more like two goals.  I know.  I know.  I seem to like my goals.  The last few I have actually been able to finish and I SO SO SO love the feeling of completing a goal.  So now I will get down to it. 

My two goals: 

1.  Run a 5k at the end of November.  (Hot Buttered Run) 

• Yes I am doing it for the Rum at the of the run.

2.  Run/Walk 150 miles by New Years Eve. 

• This one will be harder as I haven't done too many miles yet but I do great when it comes to pressure.   I definitely think that I do it too myself leaving things until the end and then work my butt off to complete the goal.  Maybe one day I might learn and spread my goal out over the actual length of time but until then I will just keep on moving forward.

 Well we will see how it goes.  I will let you know how the 5k goes. 

Working Out

Well I have been working out for the last month and 5 days.  Bill and I went on vacation last week and I worked out everyday that I needed too.  I either jogged/walked, hiked, or rode a bike (which hurt - the seat was not comfortable).  I'm so happy that I didn't let getting out of my routine stop what I'm trying to accomplish.  I'm feeling more healthy by the day.  I'm hoping in a few weeks I will be able to jog the 3 miles to do a 5k if I so choose.  Getting excited towards becoming a step healthier.

Can't wait for Hawaii!!!!!  Only 2 months away!!!!

The Healthier Life

So goals...yes the talk of goals.  Isn't it exciting.

My goal is to start loving myself and taking the time for me to work out.  

You would think that loving yourself is easy but I find that it is by far the hardest thing to do.  You would also think that taking the time to work out would be as easy as that sounds considering I just have a husband but it still takes a lot of time and effort to remind myself that I'm worth it, that it will be good for me, and that I will feel great afterwards.  

So Working out.  Yep.  On a regular basis.

  

I have a plan that I have been sticking with so far.  Now I'm still at the beginning stages - Two Weeks but I'm feeling good about this.   I am alternating a couch to 5k jog and a Jillian Michael's Strength workout (weights).  I also even worked out when I was down in LC staying in a hotel.  That is a big step for me to have actually done it.  I usually give up when my schedule changes but I'm so proud of myself.  It is now just the keeping up with it even when my schedule changes.

OK I CAN DO THIS!!!! 

A little late

I know that this is a little late, ok only by a month but still at least I'm talking about it now.  

MY WALKING GOAL OF 2012-2013

I finished it in a way.  I was actually short 15 miles.  

Now the story behind that...I slacked off throughout the entire summer.  I know not usually the time that you slack off but for me apparently it was.  By the end of the year time frame I was walking at least 3 to 6 miles everyday.  I walked so incredibly much that it came down to having 3 days left and having to walk 15 miles.  I was completely going to do it but then the nasty infection called a "cold" took it's hold of me and I wasn't able to finish and walk the 15 miles.  So slight failure.

However the silver lining is I know for a hundred percent fact that I walked 15 miles (unaccounted for) throughout the year that I'm still saying that I finished my goal of walking 365 miles in a year!!

Onto the next years goal walking 730 miles in a year.  

2 miles per day

14 miles per week 

Nov - Nov 

IT BEGINS

Week 48

Week 48

I have slacked all summer long with my walking goal.  I do mean slacked majorly.  A few weeks ago I had more the 100 miles to walk.  Craziness I know.  So to motivate me to walking and finishing my goal I moved my tread mill into the living room and I'm walking in between 2 to 4 miles everyday (more like 4 miles everyday)  As of today October 2nd I have walked 269 miles.  I am now down to having to walk 96 miles in the next 33 days.  If you break it down to per day I have to walk 3 miles everyday but I am determined to make this goal!!!  4 weeks to go and I will do it!!
