Well, the temperature dropped enough to a 40 minute stroll, at a much slower pace than usual. But if I wasn't in this group, I would not have gone at all. So, yay for this group for getting me up off the couch.

That gave me my first morning smile!

Epic fail for me. Strained my calf a bit last Thursday and haven't been on a walk since. Changing that today.

Not much walking here either... 5602 steps yesterday, 2.4 miles. A seat came open to take the CBest test electronically so I'm doing it today. That will be a festive four hours! I spent yesterday in jammies taking sample math tests. Probably another low step day today too.

Wow! Was it cold! Hovering around 32*F, snow/ice pellets misting fine, cool winds blowing, and I was out there, in my little walker shorts, jacket...I did wear gloves and hat today. By gosh golly, I was walking! That really may be my limit though, 32*F is tough stuff!

I have no motivation at all for exercise I think I will start with the 10 minute walking and up the time on it gradually

First day of the challenge for me. I've been doing a WW challenge for the past year that's fun too. It's 250 miles in 6 months, which is pretty easy to do, so I've upped my limit to 400. Anybody interested in doing this too?

12/19 5.40 miles

I thought the weekend would be a write-off because I was visiting friends for Xmas drinks, but we ended up having a lovely sunset walk for over 6kms. Sunday I did nothing, and today I managed to walk at lunch for 40 minutes around a cemetery near work.

Trudging through the rain this morning!

Rain here too! But no one in Sonoma county can complain until at least April! I have decreed!

Catching up the weekend.
12/19: I had set my goal for Saturday to hit around 15 miles total but I ended up geocaching and hiking along a trail and before I could convince myself to turn around, I had hit the 11 mile mark. So, I had 11 miles to hike back as well. I was surprised at how good my legs and feet felt. My arms and shoulders, however, were suffering. But, glad to have gotten this badge:


12/20: Football!

12/21: I slept every single minute that I could. I had one of the worst weekends of sleep I've ever had and today was definitely catch-up day. It doesn't make up for the poor sleep but I feel pretty good right now.
