Drumroll Please!!!!

Ladies and Gentleman,

I am pleased to announce that I have walked 69 miles for the month of January.

Now this means that I missed 17 miles. I definitely need to work on getting my walks in during the weeks that I have the kids. Also, I missed one mile last night. Since this was due to the gym closing, I feel it was a sign from God giving me permission to end a mile early and go get a hot fudge sundae. The fact that the Sonic's ice cream machine was broken did not deter my belief in this fact one little bit! (It just postponed my hot fudge sundae consumption for a day.)

On to February and all the blisters, sore muscles and long talks with Robin!

"In the fast paced world in which we live, the exercise of walking provides a way to actually slow down, to talk with a friend or family member, or to just be alone without noise. For many, it just seems to be the right activity at the right moment in time."

Training Schedule

I was asked today (due to my numerous Facebook posts regarding my long days of walking) what I was training for.  I was also asked what the training schedule was.

So, here's the link to the training schedule Robin and I are following. We would love people to join us! Especially on the 12 mile days!

You have to stay in shape. My grandmother, she started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 today and we don't know where the hell she is.
