Well after a very exciting weekend with a Focus Meeting for the 3 Day, I am pumped up and back in training. I met some really great people at the meeting and recruited four people to join The Rack Pack! Super exciting!
I have been back in the gym this week and back on my training plan which makes me feel great. I also am all set to be a Training Walk Leader, so that is great! I can't wait to start planning fun and challenging training walks for my team and the community. This 3 Day adventure is really turning out to be more than I thought it would be.
I'm definitely on a high right now...and want to keep it that way. The ladies I have met so far are inspiring and fun and I just look forward to all of the miles that we have ahead of us and meeting so many more people who are also SICK OF CANCER!!!
Walking strong,
Traci

Slump.
Well, I have officially hit a slump. No bueno.
I'm not super motivated to go and workout, and that is bad news. Plus, after a few training sessions the old knee is hurting and that makes me cranky. Add to that a wicked case of allergies/cold and what you end up with is me...not feeling like hitting the gym.
So, I have decided to give myself permission to feel crummy and permission to rest my knee so that in a week or so I can continue my training plan pain free. Who knows if this is the best plan, but everything that I have read and heard from my trainer is that pain (unless it's ouch I just worked out pain) is a bad thing.
I'm bummed and cranky....but want to make sure that I don't injure myself seriously, so rest, ice, and elevation is on the agenda for the ol' left knee.

Training Report
Well, I have had three sessions with my personal trainer, Anetra, and that has gone very well. She is great and I sort of wish I had the funds to continue on with the training sessions, but I feel very confident that after one more session I will have several great tools to build my own very effective fitness plan. It has been nice incorporating her plan with my 3 Day plan...and all seems to be going well.
I am excited to be walking in the Race for the Cure this weekend...that will be a nice 5k to kick off my Saturday work out! I think I will have to put in a few extra miles to stay on track with my plan, but the 5k will be fun.
I seem to be struggling with my Sunday walking...and that's annoying! My schedule is about to get even busier with summer approaching, so I have got to get my workout schedule solid and make it a normal part of my days with high priority or else things will be really rough for the summer and I don't want that!
Still walking,
