The one in which I tell you how much I suck at training lately....

To bring you all back up to speed about 3 weeks ago I started feeling dizzy and couldn't get past the feeling that I was going to pass out. It started shortly after my last post when I walked 22 miles in 2 days. Here is how the past two weeks have gone, and as of now I am still feeling quite dizzy and lightheaded and am headed to my primary dr again next week.

Monday - Went to ER, they couldn't find anything wrong.

Tuesday - Went to DR, he thinks I am dehydrated tells me to drink it up.

Wednesday - Drinking it up (over 80 oz of sports drink)

Thursday - Drinking it up

Friday - Drinking it up and walked 2 miles

Saturday - Ran a 5K and fell and got hurt, but kept on going!

Sunday - Hobbled on a hurt ankle for 4 miles

Monday - Continued to hobble on hurt ankle around the house.

Tuesday - Dehydration recheck with dr told to take it easy on ankle.

Wednesday - Taking it easy.

Thursday - Taking it easy.

Friday - Walked 10 miles with Mel while feeling dizzy.

Saturday - Too dizzy to join the group for a 14 mile walk.

Catching up...

Tuesday: Walked 3 miles in the am with The Fish and Bentley and surprisingly The Fish didn't cry the whole way after mile 1, it was amazing, he normally freaks out after 1 mile. I did an additional 2 miles picking the girls up from school as I walked to the post office before picking them up.

Wednesday: Repeated Tuesday morning doing 3 miles with The Fish and Bentley, it was a great morning that day as well.

Thursday: DAY OFF!

I plan on doing at least 5 miles on Today and I am going on a 6.8 mile training walk tomorrow with one of the Seattle teams. And then a slower paced 4 mile walk on Sunday, hoping to get the hubs to go with me.

This Weeks Total = 11.9

2010's total = 82.9 (so close to 100!!)

Today was a great day for training. I got in a full 2 miles this morning with The Fish and Bentley and The Fish didn't cry at all today! It helped that we were playing a game with Teddy Grahams called "Please Don't Eat Me". I was pretending to be the Teddy Grahams and making up voices for each one asking The Fish not to eat me. He was pretty amused by the whole thing...and hey whatever works right???

This afternoon Bentley and I headed over to the post office to drop off orders and pick up the girls from school on the way back home for a total of 1.9 miles.

This weeks total = 3.9 miles

2010's total = 71 miles

Today I walked 2 miles with the dog and jogged 2.5 miles on the treadmill after having a great Mother's Day with my family. We went shopping for a new digital camera that isn't big and bulky to take with me on this years walk and I can't wait to tell you all about it! I plan on taking it on some of my longer training walks with me also so I have more than just words on these boring training posts ;). I hope to join up with the team I trained with last year to walk some of these longer walks with and meet some new people.

I am still looking for one person each week to sponsor my training miles, if you are interested in do so please shoot me an email.

This week's total = 20.6

2010's total = 67.1

Now that the wind storms are over and the sun is shining bright I have been able to get out and get walking! Yesterday morning I took The Fish and Bentley on a 2 mile walk which included dropping the girls off at school. It was a beautiful day and a very refreshing way to start the day.

I came home after the walk and finished up some stuff for work and became some maniac cleaning machine. I was having some emotional/PMS/grieving issues yesterday and I turned it into something positive by cleaning the house. House looks great and I am feeling better! After the clean fest, cooking dinner and delivering packages to the post office I set out on another 2 mile walk with the dog.

During the many training walks I often reflect on why I am out there, who I am walking for and just how amazing walking 60 mile is. I also think about fund raising and let me tell you one of the ideas I got from a fellow walker is something big and you will soon find out just what it is I have up my sleeve and Jess is game to do the same. I can't wait to share our shenanigans with you, but for now I am keeping quiet on the whole thing. A hint....it's PINK (like you didn't know that already) :P

Yesterday's total = 4 miles

This week's total = 8.6 miles

2010's total = 55.1

Yesterday was a huge milestone for me. I needed to go get some paper and other supplies for mailing out my donation letters from Staples and I decided that I would take The Fish for a walk, it was 3 miles round trip and since he wasn't up for anymore walking I brought him home and dropped him off with Ky Guy and took Bentley on a 1.6 mile walk to pick up the girls from school. So yesterday I did a total of 4.6 miles which put me over FIFTY miles training so far! I was exited to hit the first big milestone in training. Here's to another 600 or so!

This week's total = 4.6

2010's total = 51.1
