Treadmill

My sister in law gave me her treadmill. My mileage had taken a fall with the ultra cold weather but I am back on track now with 45 minutes of walking and jogging every day. It seems that each day I am able to walk a bit faster and farther. I love seeing the progress and I haven't had any pain in my legs anywhere!

I had wanted to stay in shape this winter with shoveling snow every day or so but there has been no snow to speak of so my plans didn't work out. I then thought I could walk around our mile block a few times but it is cold enough that I don't want my 3 year old to be out for very long, especially if he was just sitting in the cart the whole time. The treadmill answered all of that for me. Walking and jogging are my favorite ways to stay fit and now I can walk in my room while my 3 year old takes a long bath in the garden tub! Fun for everyone.

not so much running

I have finished two - hundred mile goals since my last post. I am not doing much running because I can't get past my knee problem but I have not been deterred. I do as much running as I am comfortable with plus I walk fast, ride my bike, and swim plus some weight training. Today I did 30 minutes on the eliptical machine at the gym, and 15 minutes of walking.

100 MILES!!!!

I hit the 100 mile mark - Yay!! Balloons and Confetti for me!!!
Instead of a microphone I opted for hiking boots that I needed badly. I was blessed with a microphone just after I decided to do that, so I got both in the end!

This time I am going for a hundred miles but the difference will be that the faster I get it done the bigger the prize will be. If I finish in July I will get $100.00. If it is in August it will be $50.00, and if it goes until September it will be $25.00. Nothing after that. So here goes.

This last week

This past set of days off with my husband, we packed for the day and went hiking around Burnt Lake. We walked a couple of miles and then found a spot to fish and cook lunch on a fire. It was fun and our kids did great on the hike which means oh so many more similar hikes in our future! I have been getting up each morning and walking/jogging 2 to 4 miles. My 5 year old has been coming with me and has surprised me with his stamina.

I found that the shoes do make the difference. I wore my good Saucony shoes and was able to jog for a mile.

I am at 80 miles on my 100 mile goal. Go Me!

Let's Begin

I have been working towards my goal of 100 miles. I am at 62 miles after doing a mixture of biking, walking, and jogging. When I get to 100 miles I get a good microphone.
