Not only are we using this blog to keep track of our training and as a source of motivation, but we are also using this to share our training adventures (which have already been interesting to say the least)!
A bit about my training style...
When I first started training I had a hard time walking instead of running. It took everything I had to stop, walk and smell the roses. It wasn’t the “working out” that I found difficult; it was the amount of time that goes into these walks. I do enjoy exercising, but I also enjoy sleeping, eating, television, pool time and pretty much everything else in life that doesn’t require a ton of work and planning (thank you DVR, you were life changing). So for me, my 4(ish) days per week of 45min-1hour workouts of running, lifting and general toning has now gone to a planned mix of time consuming walks and cross training.
There is also a lot of pressure involved in my new workout routine… basically if I don’t do it I risk the chance of losing a lot of toe nails, obnoxiously annoying blisters and pretty much massive pain everywhere. But it’s no longer about losing a few pounds; it’s about honoring those who we have lost, celebrating my sister’s victory and helping save our next generation from this battle.
So, as I learned from my first official walk on July 4th, this training will not be easy but it will be well worth the time and shoes that will go into this! It will also be worth the sights and experiences along the way!
I hope you follow us through our adventures along the way (more to come on those) and oh… if you haven’t donated to Chicks for a Cure… get on it… Please and thank you!
Well done, well said!
