4 miles of walking with 250 lunges.  It was a bit windy, but temp felt pretty good.

My friend txtd me at about 7:30 pm and invited me to go walking with her, so I did.  After about 2.5 miles, it started raining pretty hard so needless to say we were both soaked by the time we got back to her house.  I walk in cotton pant so I was pretty wet.  Good times!!!

Dropped Anna off to pre school and headed off.  Actually, she likes to run to school (close to a 1/2 mile) so we did.

Felt very good today!!!  Mile 4, 5, and 6 were all under 9's.  Average pace 9:03.  Yeah!!!  I was pretty cold to begin with, but once the sun came out I had to take my head band off.

Happy to be feeling good and stronger every day!!!

Walking with 250  lunges.  It was insanely windy and freezing cold so I was glad it was my walking day. I wouldnt have made it far running.

Running today and boy was it cold.  28 as I left.  I kept a good steady pace and felt strong doing it.  I didnt have time for my Garmin to calibrate or whatever it does for 5 minutes before I use it every day.

 Another 4 this afternoon, walking and pushing Anna in the stroller.  Was a bit bored at the house, so we decided to go for a walk.  She hasnt gone with me for awhile, so that was fun.

Same 7 as monday or whenever that was, but I ran it backward, and started at the house not annas school so i got that extra 1/2.  My garmin batteries were dead so I didnt take it.  I tried to keep a good pace but it would have been cool to see if i actually did or not.

The most miles in a week I think in ever for me!!!  Half have been walking, but even the running ones are getting higher.

Yeah!!

Walking again today with Anna in the stroller.  With 250 lunges.  It is a beautiful day outside today, I was way warm in pants and a long sleeved shirt.  Have I mentioned that I love the desert???!!!
