Training Update

So I managed to have a week where I ALMOST made all of my training walks. I am a little frustrated because as the walks start getting longer, I am going to have to make sure to invest the time to get this training in. I am still struggling with the first 1.5 miles in each walk due to tightness in my lower legs. I have talked with a few people about how to work on and through that, and I am really hoping that trying some new stretches and mental games will help with that this week.

In other news, we joined a gym over the weekend and I am really pleased with that. I know it will be a huge help on my cross training days, and I am super excited to begin incorporating strength training into my plan.

So, last week I walked 8.25 out of 11 miles and I am on schedule for 12 miles this week. I am going to try really hard to make all of those miles. I did a few extra miles on the elliptical yesterday, but can't really count those towards my walking mileage I don't guess.

Until next time,
Traci
