1.1 - 26.20
I still hit the snooze button for half-an-hour, but I got up and walked this morning. Don't think I would have gotten up at I gone to Kilroy's last night. I made up one day I missed and if I walk 25 minutes tomorrow (my scheduled off day) I'll be back on schedule.
Walking 25 minutes was starting to get a bit boring even while listening to the radio, so no way I'll be able to do 2 hours on the treadmill, that will have to be done outside. Luckily I won't hit any 2 hour walks until the weather is better.

Rained on my Parade
Or more like rained on my lazy butt! Trip to California was fun, but it rained almost the entire time - good thing we rented a convertible, eh? Needless to say the rain gave me no motivation to get out and walk. And we've been back for 2 days and I still haven't walked - grr! I lost my motivation and I have been feeling like crap. See I am allergic to down pillows and Gadgetboy's parents had a couple on their guestroom bed. Sweetly Gadgetboy went thru and tried to separate out the down pillows from the non-down from the 20 pillows on the bed - but he missed one! So I work up on Sunday AM having a hard time breathing, and even ended up using my inhaler Sunday night.
So since I have been home my head has been foggy and feels like it weighs 100 pounds. So tonight I normally go out with a couple of girlfriends for a couple of beers after a Stained Glass class I am taking. But the bar we go to is CRAZY smoky (we ain't in Cali anymore!), so in order to be able to get back on track and walking again (oh yeah and breathe), I am bailing on girl time to go home and hopefully walk. I am already 4 times behind on the training calendar I made for myself. Well, kinda, it started on the 27th, so all of the walking I did the previous week hadn't been counted yet. And this first week all consists of only walking 10 or 15 minutes a day, so I feel I can make that up by extending my walks to half an hour and walking on my scheduled off day - Friday. So hopefully come Saturday I will be back on track!

1st full mile!
1 mile - 22:26
I know, sad, sad, sad but I see it as an accomplishment. Like I Said - baby steps!! But clearly I'll be working toward that 16 minute mile. And working to not just one 16 mile mile, but 26.2 of them!

At home
Working from home today so I slept in to make up for the time it takes me to drive into work so I missed my morning walk before starting work. My plan is to walk over what would be my lunch hour. I really enjoy working from home, I feel I have so many less distractions, am able to focus more. And instead of stopping for 5 minutes to talk to someone while pouring a cup of coffee, I throw a load of laundry in. I feel like I can get stuff done while being more productive all together. Now just have to make sure I walk!

Thursday AM
3/4 mile in 16.53
That pace won't get me to the finish line in time, but it's a good start. From what I have been reading I'll need to have a 16 minute mile to avoid being swept.
Trying to decide if it is worth packing my walking stuff for our trip to CA this weekend. Yes, I Want to walk, but will it happen?!? And the fact that Gadgetboy's parent live in the development built into the side of a mountain. I have only been doing flats so far so that might kick my butt. And no sports bra yet. Making excuses? Probably.

Wednesday AM
.5 - 13:00
Well I got up, although a little later than I had hoped. Going to be hard to get into a morning routine. It helps that Gadgetboy has to leave earlier than I do for work, but I still need to get out from under the covers, lol. So today was half-mile in 13:00, clearly I am very slow in the morning! But I did it, I got my ass outta bed! Score one for me!
