36 Miles in 2010

My Valentine worked all day, so I was able to squeeze in my 3 miles tonight (miles 5, 1, and 2). I am getting bored with this video and am ready to re-tackle c25k! I'll save this video as my "didn't get it done during the day so have to do something at home at night" backup plan.

After much hemming and hawing, I did spend the rest of my birthday money on a Nike + this weekend. Dick's was out of them (!), so I had to go to the Apple store. I HATE going to the Apple store. Hope it's worth it! I need to get a laces sleeve since my shoes are Addidas. I also need to hook the desktop back up to the internet (took apart my office to paint a couple of weeks ago), since that is the computer that has itunes. Maybe by the time I get all of these things done it will be warm enough for this Texas girl to get outside and run? (34-ish this morning... brr!)

Oh, and my ankle stayed a little sore after last Wednesday, so the extra rest was good. I also wore shoes (my old Sauconys) for the workout. I think it's the side-to-side motion without shoes that's bothering me. The shoes are not good cross-trainers, but I think it was better than nothing.

3 Walk-at-Home miles (2, 3, and 4) tonight. My left ankle is a little unhappy with me, but nothing too bad. I followed up the miles with 30 crunches and 30 butt-lifts (yes, that's a technical term!).

Then I sat on said butt and watched some TV! Woot for not working tonight!

30 Miles in 2010

3 Walk-at-Home miles tonight (miles, 4, 5, and 1). I also weighed-in on the Wii Fit, and I was essentially the same as two weeks ago (155 lbs).

And this is why it can't be about the numbers for me. It has to be about how I feel. Part of how I feel is how I look, but I really feel like that will take care of itself if I just keep going on a healthier track.

Let's just push that on down the page, shall we?

2 Walk-at-Home miles tonight (miles 2 & 3). My legs are tired. I can't decide if it's from doing 4 miles on Sunday or just PMS. =)

Overall, I'm feeling healthier already, and that is awesome.

25 Miles in 2010

Four (!) walk-at-home miles tonight. I copied London's method and put the DVD on our portable DVD player so I could watch something on the TiVo. I tried watching the series finale of Dollhouse, but I discovered that I couldn't concentrate on both. I watched a House repeat instead. Anyway, it passed the time better, and I stuck it out for the 4th mile.

I'm not planning to make a habit of leaving a workout until Sunday night, but I lost a lot of opportunities this week. I love that I was looking forward to finding an opportunity!

21 Miles in 2010

I did 3 Walk-at-Home miles tonight. (Miles 1, 2, and 3) They are definitely getting easier!

I still do want to try the running outside thing. It just got cold again, so I'm going to wait until it's a bit more consistent. Bryan is going to outfit me with a GPS so I can map out some distances on the trail behind our house. There are mile markers, but our house is between 3/4 and Mile 1. So I just need to measure to a mile marker, then do some math!

18 Miles in 2010

3 Walk-at-Home miles over lunch today. I did miles 2, 3, and 5.

I am debating a weekly weigh-in and "before" picture. (yeesh). But how cool is it to see your own before and after... AFTER? Check out Maria - amazing!

15 Miles in 2010

3 more walk-at-home miles tonight. I did miles 3, 4, and 5. My legs are feeling strong!

That means I met my goal of 9 miles last week (Monday - Sunday). I am on the verge of being able to do more. Maybe I will get to 500 miles this year after all?

I have also been taking a new generic multi-vitamin that seems to be working better for me than the women's versions I have been taking. Too much iron just makes me ill. Even though I always tend toward anemia. Go figure!

12 miles in 2010

3 more Walk-at-Home miles during lunch today. I did miles 1, 4 and 5 - my first time to do mile 5. As it turns out, there is a cool down after all! I wondered about that. I wish they had made it separately available on the menu, but that's ok. I'll just try to end with mile 5 from now on.

My legs were tired after the last time, so I took two days off. That, and I had a headache last night. My goal seems to be solidifying into 9 miles/week. I can definitely be happy with that fitness level. I don't know how this is going to affect weight loss, but I'll jump off that bridge at another time. For now, it's good to be doing this!

9 Miles in 2010

3 Walk at Home miles tonight!

I was much more tired this time. It's nice how each mile is it's own little cycle of low, medium, and high intensity - you kind of get a break after each high bit!

6 Miles in 2010

Three Walk-at-Home miles tonight!

And LauraC let me know that there are a few people signed up to do 350 miles in 2010, so I committed to that!

3 Miles in 2010

So I haven't decided if I am going to commit to 500 miles in 2010 - I may have to do the JV version. =) But I've decided to title the posts with my cumulative miles for the year so far.

London had mentioned that she was doing some walk-at-home videos, so I watched some snippets on YouTube and decided to pick one up. (On sale at Target for $10!) Dude - it's not just walking. It's like going to an aerobics class.

Anyway, I did 2 miles last night. I'll do 3 next time.
