Week 18 Training Update

Miles walked the past week: 22.6

Total Miles: 90.9 miles

It is my first week back from vacation and my body is definitely feeling the fact that I took 2 weeks off. At this point, I am used to the mileage, but the heat is complicating things. It reaches 100 degrees here almost everyday. If not, we get treated to a breezy 99! So that means that I am leaving the house earlier and earlier to squeeze the mileage in before the temperature goes up. When we walk, I am moving around, so I enjoy a little breeze now and then. But the boys are sitting still, so they get really hot, very fast. We change sides of the street often to follow the shade. And I have learned all of the routes where I can work in a playground or a pool. Gotta keep the helpers happy!

Looking at my distance traveled, I have now walked from our house in Austin to Columbus, Texas. That's where I would get on I-10 to head to my parents. So it's always nice to turn a corner...Only 882 miles left to go!

You're walking skills are killing me. I've got to get off of my rear. Well, I guess technically I'm not really on my rear, but I need to do some real exercise. It is hotter than hades!!!
