Training: Day 2

Training today was not nearly as hard as I expected it to be. I was still pretty sore from Tuesday but that was the hardest part. I think watching Dexter on my mom's iPad really helped. Although I'm sure it won't, I'm hoping the rest of the training goes this smoothly.

So after talking about how wonderfully today went I'm sure tomorrow will suck. I have to do 15 or 30 minutes (can't remember how long exactly) of cross training and will probably be crazy sore from not only walking farther today but doing so on an incline.

I can do this!

Stats!

Training Today: 4 miles with an incline of 3
Walking Total: 7 miles
Next Training Day: Tomorrow

Training: Day 1

Today was my first day of training. That means 3 miles at 3 mph. It was tough, not gonna lie. I was seriously questioning my decision during that first mile and a half. However once I found a good soundtrack and found my stride it got a lot easier.

I know this is going to be tough but I also know I can do it.



Training Today: 3 miles
Walking Total: 3 miles
Next Training Day: Thursday

Why?

The question I get most when I mention that I am participating in the Susan G Komen 3-day is why? I thought it would be a good place to start in documenting my training, etc.

My paternal grandmother suffered from breast cancer, and it was ultimately the cause of her death, which is reason enough to participate, however not the only reason I'm doing this. Aside from how this disease has affected my family this is an amazing cause that brings together some amazing women and I wanted to be a part of that. Also, as those of you who know me well may know, I am out of shape and generally pretty lazy. This is a great way to jump start my exercise routine and force me to get in shape.

Although some of my reasons for doing this may be a bit selfish, I am proud of myself for doing this and am going to stick with it.
