Wow, June has been SO busy!
My longest walk to date was a week ago. I did 13.1 miles. I was supposed to out yesterday for 14 but I way overtrained w/ a workout and sprints on Friday. My legs were killing me. I'm going to go for a long bike ride tonight and then I'll do a normal run/walk tomorrow.
Oh, I bought a bike. Just a cheapie Walmart one but I got a softer seat and a helmet. It's a good cross training alterative. YAY!!!
I also registered for the Surf City USA half marathon on Feb. 3. It's in Huntington Beach on the Pacific Coast Highway. I can't wait!!!

Off schedule
The 3 day weekend threw me off some!
I didn't get my long walk in until Monday. Bruno and I did 11.2 miles!!! The weather wasn't too bad but Bruno was pretty wore out by the time we got home.
I ended up running all over yesterday with errands and such so no workout. This morning I went to the Y and did 3.28 miles in 45 minutes. I even ran at 6mph for my first interval!!!! Woohoo!!
I plan to run on Friday morning and hopefully get something in tomorrow. Maybe Abs class tomorrow night.
We leave Friday afternoon for our vacation. I was thrilled to find out I can use the Y near my dh's house while we're gone!!

Let's get it started!
No more excuses, I'm officially on SUMMER!!!!!!! I have to go in and clean out my office next week but the boys will be in Cali w/ my IL's so it's no biggie.
It's time to kick the training up. I want to run 3x/wk, cross train 2x/wk and do my long walks on the weekend. I CAN do this! There is no reason to not buckle down and get to it.
I got my 2 run/walks in this week and my pace is increasing. I did 3.23 miles in 45 minutes on Tuesday and 2.45 miles in 35 miles on Thursday. I'm changing up the run/walk intervals and making them longer.
Tonight I gave my iPod and overhaul and created a playlist called 'runnin' that's full of songs w/ a great pace.

10 miles!!
Wooohooo! I finally hit the 10 mile mark! I had to do it on the treadmill in the living room but at least it was cool and I got to watch two movies!!!!
I missed my second short run/walk last week and still haven't managed to get any cross training in.

The start of a plan...
Well, it occurred to me yesterday that we have a HUGE mall out here. It's a single story and if I remember correctly, one lap around is one mile. I think that I could go there on Sundays and just walk around it all day. I'll have to figure out a way to keep track of my laps.
I didn't do anything exercise yesterday! I have GOT to get better about that. Not sure what my issue is. I'm hoping it's the stress/time issues w/ the end of the year. Next Thurs. is my last day and then it should get better.
I did get to the Y tonight. I did 3.1 miles in my 45 minutes. I love getting a good sweat on, the front of my shirt was all wet. Never thought I'd ever say that. :-)
Oh, my weigh in over the weekend, down 23.8!!!!

It's HOT!!!
I'm suddenly very nervous over training in the summer.
Bruno and I went out on Sunday morning and walked for 3 hours. I thought we did 9 miles but when I clocked it this morning it was closer to 8. We left at 6am and were home by 9. It was already really hot by 8. How am I going to do 20 miles, which I expect to take 8 hours, in AUGUST??? I mean, it'll be mid-90's at 4am. There's no way I can do that kind of walking in the 110 degree heat of the sun. I don't think leaving at 10 and walking all night is a safe option. I just don't know.
Tonight I have to do some yoga, or at least some ab work. I really need to start getting my noncardio and crosstraining in on a more regular basis.

So far so good!
I did run/walk intervals again yesterday! I covered 3.11 miles in 45 minutes. My one complete mile of run/walking was done in under 14 minutes!!!!!
Tonight I need to do yoga. I have to start adding cross training to my weeks. I know, I've been saying that for months.
They Y's current class schedule has a 9am cardio/step class for 55 minutes and then a 10am abs class. My goal is to be there for that on Mon. and Wed. all summer. I *may*opt to skip the cardio class and just do abs since it's the day right after my long walk.
