1.2 - 29:00
I've been falling into a bad habit. Having a hard time walking. Mainly due to the schedule I've been working (late again this week!), but hoping I can get back on it after my project goes out on Friday. I was doing well, but now am into a every other day habit. Hopefully next week will be better.

1.0 - 16:15
Back at it this morning. Monday and Tuesday night I worked until 11PM and I have quickly realized that I can't work that late and then still get out of bed early to walk. Means it is going to be real hard to do when I'm in trial then, which is the start of the training calendar for the full marathon. Trial days start at 6AM and usually go to about1AM - not a lot of sleep going on! Hopefully won't have to work as crazy late the next couple of days so I can get back on schedule.
So even though I missed 2 days walking I am still on my time for walking this week, was supposed to walk 80 minutes, have walked 82 minutes. I'll take that!

Walk the Vote!
1.0 - 23:12
Missed walking entirely yesterday. Couldn't get up in the morning so I figured I'd just walk when I got home, but then ended up with a nasty project at work that kept me there until 10:45pm. No way I was walking that late, I'd never get to sleep! So back on plan this morning, had a good walk and planning on walking Friday morning to make up for it. Going to try to be better about getting up in the morning, it does make my whole day feel better.
Another crazy day planned - have to hit the voting booth on my way in, make sure I actually leave my desk today to get my allergy shot (forgot about it yesterday!) and then back on the crazy project. Probably another late night tonight.

Survivor Walk!
1.4 - 33:30
My favorite show is back on the air - Survivor!!! Made my walk just fly by. I'm loving the news Fans vs. Favorites. Gadgetboy saved the day because I had forgotten to set the Tivo for the new season - that was quickly fixed!!
It is also just getting so much easier to do my walks. My back isn't tightening up as much, I'm not as winded on the higher speeds, and I am just feeling so much better about everything. This is doing wonders not just for my physical being but also my mental being!

Yea!
1.3 - 30:30
Have a big day planned, painting our master path but wanted to get my walk in before we started that because I'm sure I'll way to tired after doing that to want to walk.
My morning walks all have about 5 minutes of real slow warm-up time at like 1.0 to 1.5mph. I do do a small warm-up before hitting the treadmill, some stretches, moving around (the America's Walking warm-up)
But I still feel that I need that slow walking to get me moving. I think at some point I'm going to need to just start counting that 5 minutes in my total because a) makes me look so slow! and b) having a hard time figuring out my pace. But that is later, right now I'm just glad to be moving everyday, glad to be improving everyday, glad to be getting healthier everyday!
