Call For Miles | Weeks 10 & 11

It has been a crazy two weeks here at our house. First, we had a grandpa pass away and made a quick trip home for the funeral. Then the day after we got home was the beginning of my big volunteer project that I do every year – the book fair. I was exhausted all week and totally forgot about a call for miles last week. My apologies.

So, how did the last two weeks go for you? I am really struggling this time around. I am disappointed in myself, honestly. So this week I going to change the focus of my energy.

Let me know your miles for the last two weeks and I’ll get them updated. We have two more calls – one next week and one Easter Sunday. Round 5 will start on April 1 (but only if people are interested still!).

Sorry!

Just realized that I didn’t put a call for miles up on Monday. We left town for a funeral and a long weekend. This week has been to crazy to catch up. On Monday, we’ll have a call for miles for weeks 10 & 11. Continue to track and I’ll update miles soon. It’s been a crazy week and a half at our house…

When you are feeling like you can’t make the time to exercise, remember that the sacrifice you make is worth it for your well-being, which makes it a victory!

It seems like we’ve lost more people along the way this time around than normal. Remind your friends to check in!

How was your week?

I had a good week. I tried a new class at the gym, some friends invited me to play basketball and I got together with my relay team for a quick training walk.

Be sure to check in with your miles!

Have a great week!

I love this quote, and I love the way that it is done here. Personally, I think that this quote applies to many different parts of my life. Especially exercise.

How was your week? How many miles did you do?

I find that I am struggling this time around. Getting out has been a struggle but I am very hopeful for the next few weeks. I have plans.

Be sure to leave a comment with your miles and then come back and check my math.

Call for Miles | Week 6

A day late again! Sorry, folks.

We had influenza at our house last week and it has kicked my butt. Trying to get the house & groceries & kids caught up after a solid week of sickness has left me unorganized and exhausted.

How was your week?

My sister sent me this picture. I love it. Too often, I look at other people doing amazing things and I don’t think about the path that got them there. I don’t think about the struggles that they fought through. My mind makes me think that they decided they wanted to this and bam! they were there.

Frequently, for me, I take a couple steps back for each one I take forward – especially when it comes to fitness. The key is not giving up and remembering that success really takes a squiggly path.

Leave me a comment with your numbers for last week. Remind your friends that maybe haven’t commented in awhile.

Call for Miles | Week 5

We are almost halfway through Round 4. Are you almost halfway to your goal? I am realizing that I am not, so I had better kick it up a notch…I am making {slow} progress though.
