Something clicked when I got this and I immediately called to say I wanted to join! It's been FOREVER since I've been in any kind of organized exercise program and as my weight keeps climbing and the 3-Day Breast Cancer walk looming on the horizon I felt I needed to try one more time.This Karin Lewishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02559934252201480192noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31125391.post-52704181547114718752007-08-15T07:59:00.000-05:002007-08-15T08:02:38.069-05:0086 DaysI'm so glad I got up this morning and went walking, it's HOT outside and it was 7am! I can't imagine what it's going to be like this afternoon! Short post 'cause I've got to get to work and no pic because my camera's battery is out of juice. Still trucking along, trying to work on my eating now to help me lose weight before the walk, a side benefit to doing this.

I don't know why I'm having such a hard time with this, last year it was much better at this time. Maybe it's because of this massive heat wave we are having or that I've been having a really hard time getting to bed at a decent hour, my brain just won't shut down! But I did, I'm back in the mode!

Took a break on the training to let the blisters heal (I believe I started off too fast) So today I was going to walk in the early morning because of the Heat Wave we are experiencing here in Missouri or as my niece and her friends call it "Misery" but I didn't get too much sleep the night before so the snooze button was hit a few too many times. So I went to work and had Karin Lewishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02559934252201480192noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31125391.post-48421227021961584602007-08-02T07:38:00.001-05:002007-08-02T07:44:47.339-05:0098 DaysWell I was a little sore this morning, I think my back was sore because of the swinging from the driving range and my feet because the blisters are still there! As much as I wanted to keep pushing the snooze button this morning I got up after the 3rd hit and got myself ready. This morning was a little different, I had to do a little first aid to my feet which helped on one foot and not so much Karin Lewishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02559934252201480192noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31125391.post-24534503975748905462007-08-01T07:53:00.000-05:002007-08-01T08:00:34.776-05:0099 DaysThis morning there are blisters on my feet! They are little swollen but hopefully by doing my cross training (weights and driving range) it'll give them a rest to walk again tomorrow. The biggest challenge I think I'm facing this walk is not the walk it's self or the blisters or the soreness it is the people who think I'm not going to walk this year!

This morning I got up and realized I really need to get my butt in gear and start walking! I have done a training walk with others that are participating in the The 3 Day and I've walked here and there when time and weather permits but this is serious now! So today I got up at 6am, well really 5:30am when my alarm went off and then again 9 min Karin Lewishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02559934252201480192noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31125391.post-4401344683651335782007-07-08T18:30:00.000-05:002007-07-08T18:43:15.662-05:0018 weeks until the walk! I just got my Personal Trainer reminder email! So far the longest I've walked is about 6 miles! Which is about right in line with the training schedule. Walking 20 miles a day scares me but I know I can do it if I just keep walking daily and follow the training schedule. My feet are holding up, YEAH! I found some stuff that helps me from getting blisters which is a Karin Lewishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02559934252201480192noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31125391.post-49546878532098200292007-06-25T19:40:00.001-05:002007-06-25T19:45:31.966-05:00Breast Cancer Scrapbook 4 Sale!I'm finally doing it!
