Call For Miles | Week 7

{source}

How was your week? Mine was not so good. It was super busy and I did not plan in any time to exercise, so that meant, I didn't exercise. I have another busy week (something just about every night of the week), but I am planning to exercise in the morning instead of the evening which is how I normally do things. 

Leave a comment with your miles from last week, and go get 'em this week! Please check your miles on the sidebar, and make sure I'm keeping up with your reports. :)

Call for Miles | Week 6

Happy Mother's Day, friends! I hope everyone has a lovely day!

How was your week? I had a triumph - it was my town's annual 6.7-mile race yesterday and I had a million reasons to not participate, but one big reason to participate. I think I've mentioned before that in August for the Portland to Coast relay, I am doing a nearly 8-mile leg. I needed to participate in yesterday race to prove to myself that 8-miles isn't totally unrealistic. 

I expected it to take me just under two hours to walk the 6.7 miles, but I was able to finish in 1 hour, 44 minutes. I was exhausted all day, and was ready to be done at the end, but I did it. And I have a few months to prepare to walk 8-miles about fifteen hours after walking 5-miles. 

Leave me a comment with your miles, struggles and triumphs. Good luck this week!

7-Minute Work Out

Stacy got a copy of this workout at a health screening and thought we might enjoy it. It looks like a killer work-out, and from what I read, the seven minutes should not be pleasant. 

To make it count for a mile, you could do it twice. Or you could add 7-8 minutes of yoga/stretching to the end of it. Or, you could be super tough and do everything for one minute instead of 30 seconds. Let us know if you try it!

Happy sweating!

It's been a full month of this challenge. How's it going? Are you a third of the way to your goal? Do you need to change anything to reach your goal? 

I had a good week...nothing like the pressure of a impending race to get you moving. I'm participating in my town's annual 6.7 mile walk this week so I made sure to get out walking. A friend also convinced me to get to the gym for a tough water aerobics class. 

How was your week? Any frustrations? Any successes? Leave a comment with your miles, and go get 'em this week! Happy sweating!
