I know I'm late to the party...but I'm joining in now.

We have a trip planned for next year, leaving on July 8, 2012. I have 1050 miles to get to WDW and 41 weeks to do it. I just figured out I need to average 25.6 miles/wk....totally doable :woohoo

As an additional incentive, I've also set a goal to train for the 5k at Epcot in January.

Wish me luck!!

 

[fromscratchmom]

That's awesome!

I walked/ran the 5k distance distance today...3.29 mi at a 17:30/mi pace. Working to get down to a 15min/mi so as not to embarrass myself if I go to the disney 5k in Jan

3 miles down.....1047 to go

Week 4... not quite as strong as last week but still decent...

130.81/1129 = 11.6%

Working on increasing my speed/intervals today is was 2.25 miles in 44 min which is 19.55 min miles... I really need to step that up b4 the tink!

Got sick for four days and then got called home due to weird circumstances the kids couldn't handled while I was trying to get back on track today... but I am sure gonna add the bit that I did walk.

I'm still struggling with getting back on track with exercise and apparently not being all the way healthy again yet, but I did go to the gym today.. keepin' on keepin' on as best as I can...

BTW, anyone have experience to know, after a colonoscopy, will I need more than a day to recover? or will it be like a nothing thing to go through?

I've never had a colonoscopy but I'm a RN. One day will probably be fine as long as that procedure is all that they perform (no biopsies, treatments, etc.) Just be sure to follow your doctor's discharge instructions and you should be fine. BTW, your doing a great job on the biking/walking.

I did not do any walking today, but I had my medical procedure this morning and accept for not being allowed to drive and possibly being loopy enough from the anesthesia to have messed up my ongoing online scrabble games I have with a few friends, all is well. *big cheesy grin*

Week 5... just keep walking...
159.4/1129 = 14.1%

Week 6...

191.41/1129 = 16.95%

I did 2.31 m in the time is took me to do 2.25 last thursday... not a huge improvement but every little bit counts... =)

Also I tried doing that Self bootcamp on the treadmill I got through about 8 min and it totally kicked my butt...I'll try again on thursday =)

For some reason when I get sick, I seem to fight it and go up and down with it for weeks at a time. So I've really been struggling here for a while now and I have been on the edge of becoming completely discouraged a few times seeing myself get further and further from the possibility of making my Williamsburg goal before the trip. Before I got sick I was exactly on track with only a couple of days to spare that I could slack off. Now I am having to tell myself I can still bike that distance even if I have to finish after the trip and that that isn't the end of the world. urg.... Anywho... I am still doing what I can and I did walk at the mall yesterday with DD13 and today with DD11. Not sure if I'll get to the gym any today, but I'm glad I got a bit of walking in, rather than just giving in to feeling fatigued.

What a neat Idea!
I am training for the WDW 1/2 in Jan,

Let see this week I've run 11 miles out of the 1,801m from Colorado to our resort CBR.

Thank-you Suzysharp for the encouragement!
I got an invite to go to the zoo this morning and since we have a membership, it's only 20 minutes from my house and I've been thinking I should get out and socialize more... of course I said yes. I'll have to estimate how much walking I did tho.
