Ok, please excuse the fact that I cannot add. I walked 15 miles (3 miles x 5 days).
I think it must be the fatigue.

Cheers!

Miracle on Kansas Avenue....
Hello Friends
Yes, I know it has been a long time since I posted. There is something to say for not feeling like writing. This past week I think I refound my voice. (And I think I made up a word, refound.)
In case you don't know, Wendy and I decided last year, right after Christmas, that we are going to run/jog a road race at the end of the year. We have this parade right after Thanksgiving, to kick off the Christmas season, called the Miracle on Kansas Avenue parade. Prior to the race, there's a 4-mile run/walk, that you only get an hour to do.
Thus we have begun training. I started a little bit while Wendy was pregnant, but she couldn't do as much intensity, so now that Mavvie arrived, we are both on a mission.
Daily, we walk a 3-mile walk. This is not a leisurely "day in the park" walk. This is a Leslie Sansone "Walk Away the Pounds" walk. On days when you're tired, it's a 45 minute walk of hell. It's a 45 minute DVD you can do in your house. My ultimate goal is to walk 3 miles, 7 days a week. This past week I had to take one day off, as my body was rebelling and achy. I did find out from a friend that if you drink a whey protein shake or eat a protein bar after a workout, it aids in muscle healing.
I'm pretty proud to say that this past week (counting today), I walked 5 out of 7 days and have racked up 12 miles thus far. So my goal for this coming week, starting Sunday 5/24 will be to walk 3 miles every day.
I'm also working on some strength training with a resistance band, weights, and some ab work. I can already feel a difference in how my clothing is fitting.
And so, dear friends, I must bid you adieu for today.
Get your walk on!
