Week 1 Complete!

I completed my first week of training today!! I logged 3 miles today...12 for the week! I keep thinking 'wow, I walking 12 miles this week!' that is so hard for me to grasp! I have so many more miles to go but I really feel like I did something this week. I haven't logged any kinda miles like this since training for high school track tryouts (didn't make the tryouts though...tore ligaments in my ankle 2 weeks before tryouts...ugghh)!

Today's walk was my first at home. I walked our street (it is a horseshoe) for the first time. It is about 1/2 mile so I had to do 6 laps to get my 3 miles. It was an interesting walk b/c the part of the street just past our house is in really bad shape so I had to weave my way around the small ponds. I felt like I was trying to hide my path from anyone who might follow. By the end of 6 laps though I pretty much had a path figured out. It should be better when it isn't full of water. At least I know that I do have this route if I need it. It may be repetitive but at least I have a place to walk.

So one week down and 23 to go. I am ready for week two. I hope my body is!
