Sunday Night: Training Update

Early in April I made the decision to register for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer Rocky Mountains. What does this entail you may wonder; well let me fill you in! First I have to raise $1,800, which for someone who isn't the world's best fundraiser is slightly hard. Second, I have to walk 26.2 miles on June 23 and 13.1 miles on June 24, OK technically I don't have to walk all of the miles but c'mon...why wouldn't I?
In preparation for the walk I've been attempting to fund raise which is going so-so and I've also been training. The training program has me walking 5 times a week and doing other stuff the other two days. Here's a look at this week:
Monday - 15 minute recovery walk (you'll understand why it's so short when you read what the weekend entails
Tuesday - Brisk 3 mile walk
Wednesday - 30 minutes of exercises (usually Jack's Dance game)
Thursday - Moderate 3 mile walk
Friday - 30 minutes of exercises (sitting on the couch thinking about exercising doesn't count)
Saturday - 10 mile walk
Sunday - 6 mile walk

So this weekend alone I walked 16 miles. I should be getting pretty good at this whole put one foot in front of the other business huh?! It's quite interesting the thoughts that pop into your mind when out walking for what seems like FOREVER! It's also quite interesting that your legs can get stiff even though they are constantly moving. I'm learning new things about what my body can do as I go through this training and I have to say, it's pretty neat.
The foreseeable future will see Training Updates here on the team swink blog every Sunday night. Check back here to see how I'm doing or pop on over to my avon team walk page to check in there:
