Gotta get movin'!!!

OK so the previous two weeks have been horrible for training. I haven't come close to the mileage that I need. I am having such a hard time finding/making time to walk.

I almost had heatstroke Friday afternoon. Then I just couldn't get up Saturday morning and we were busy until late Saturday evening. Then Sunday we went to Granny Alma's in Georgiana (hour & half north) to do yard work. We were there all day and come home totally exhausted. Then Monday, I was off work, took Fiona to Dr for 6 month checkup and did other errands, then it rained all afternoon. Finally, it stopped and I was able to get a 3 miler in before dark. It was really tough because I hadn't walked in 2 days. My legs hurt later in the evening.

So I put out a call for a treadmill, maybe if I have one at home at least I can walk on the days it is too hot or too stormy. I'd rather walk on the treadmill than not walk at all. At least I can build my strength and stamina even if it isn't as good as outdoor walking. I won't have skipped days where my legs can get sore.

I also sent out another mass email soliciting donations. I actually made $45 in about 10 minutes! More than last time! & it will get double through employer matching! I sent in on our payday, hoping that would help. ;-) I also have gotten two donations from the letters I sent out a week or so ago. I hope that is only the beginning and that the money will start rolling in!

Well, I'm not sure what kinda walking I will get in today. It is storming again but maybe it will move on through and I can walk this evening at home. A few miles is better than no miles!

I won't be able to walk at lunch during the week for a while. Our latest project is such a beast that we are having daily meetings at 1:00 until it is complete! Ugghh! I will also be missing my BS and Yoga classes too! I really hate that! I really enjoyed those classes but they are at 12:30. I plan to pick them back up when this project is done!

Oh and the shoes appear to be great! I didn't feel any rubbing or toe smashing. My feet were sore but I think that was because I hadn't walked in two days. I really think they are gonna work out nicely! The boob compressor is good too. I actually felt like I had better posture and my neck didn't hurt at the end. So maybe everything together will help improve my training.
