Overcast days have to be used. I was going to take a day off but with the temp being about 80 degrees at 6 pm, I had to make the best of it. I am skipping tomorrow since it's KJ's band performance. So, I did a good week. maybe I will even do a 2 mile run on Sat. to round out the week at 530 miles.

Just Doin' It!

Okay, I did another 7 miles. 4 walking and 3 running. It seems to be working for me right now. The sun was out about 20 minutes of the time I was doing my thing. I took a quick break after the first two miles to the south to refill the water and take a potty break. My legs are feeling it right now but my recovery seems to be much quicker than past months. If I take a very warm salt bath tonight, it helps even more because I can stretch in the tub. My flexibility isn't what I would like it to be but I can work on that slowly. I'm just glad that I don't have the shin or ankle problems I had in the past. Between the massage therapy and the weight training, I think I have the edge now.

I have some catchin' up to do. Slowly, but surely, I will hit my 1,000 miles this year. My 7 miles included 2.5 miles of running. This was yesterday. Today, I took a break.

Hairspray

I stayed in since my cell phone/music maker was on charge. I walked slower than usual which is always the case on the treadmill. But, I was able to get the first half of the movie "Hairspray" in. So, 3.5 miles for an hour is respectable.

A good exercise day

Today I went to PF for some lower body work and did 16+ minutes on the elyptical for a measured 1.5 miles. Add that to the 7 miles I walked/ran on Lockwood and the total adds up. I am drenched in sweat. I even had to change socks after the first two miles at home. It helped keep any blisters from arising. I had no pain and felt up to this challenge I made for myself. Now, I have to figure out how to maintain this. I still have in mind to get my weight down to 140 lbs or so. I need to step up the cardio to make that happen.

It's Better Than Nothing...

I walked slow for this walk. On purpose? Yes. The heat was up, my legs were a bit sore and my hips were aching when I tried to walk faster. It wasn't worth having any strains so I took it slow and easy.

Smokin' In The Boy's Room...

FBS - 106

weight - 160.5 lbs.

HAHAHA!!! That song was originally done by Brownsville Station back in '73 but redone with Motley Crue, which is the version I listen to on my walk/run. It has a great beat and a good 13 minute walking pace...although, I ran to it tonight.
.
Okay, so I lied. I am going to run and walk, not just walk. I have to get my heart rate up for 30 minutes to keep my weight off and the walking wasn't cutting it. The running is working better. My calves are much more in shape than ever so the shin splints might not be any problem at all anymore. And, I am still having a hard time losing any weight but alas, all my clothes still fit fine. I know I am gaining muscle because of the workouts I have been doing with KJ. He started band camp today so our PF dates are held off until school starts in two weeks. So, I can stay at the gym and do 45 minutes to an hour on the treadmill in the A/C. I can't push myself as hard in the heat so I have to walk over half of the time. I think I could run the entire time on an indoor treadmill.
.
My mileage should have been at 583 by the end of July but it won't be caught up until fall. I am okay with that. My goals are being met for the most part and the mileage wasn't as important as the consistency and staying in shape.
