If we stuck 100% to our training schedule, today should have been either 30 of easy cross training or an easy paced 30 minute walk. Instead we decided to make up our 2.5 mile walk from yesterday. So for Mother's Day I wake up to a card and roses from my hubby and kiddos, and then enjoyed an awesome church service at The River. Afterwards we headed over to the Phillips for a cook out and what a GORGEOUS day! Cheeseburgers, cheesey spaghetti, and all the fixins. I know you're probably thinking, "The food doesn't sound like a good fit for marathon training." And maybe you weren't thinking that. I'll address it anyway:-). Joanna and I usually reserve a 'cheat day' once a week. It really helps us to stay on track the rest of the time. With all this walking I also don't worry too much when I consume something more calorie dense. It will all equal out. According to my Fitbit, I walked over 12,000 steps today. So I'm okay with having a cheeseburger:-)
So anyhoo...
We all finished up eating, enjoyed watching all the kids play and then us girls just kinda sat up and said, "it's go time!" Joanna and I were ready with our typical walking gear, and to my surprise we were joined by 4 others. Joanna's mom, 2 of her sisters, and our friend Jennifer all joined us for our 2.5 mile walk around town. Joanna had mapped out our walk with her van the previous week, and it took us basically in a big circle through town. It was such a pretty walk! And it was great having the whole crew with us while we walked. So in the end our total was 2.38 miles in 59:47. We weren't worried about a fast pace today, it was all about getting the mileage logged.
Week 1 down, 19 to go! Thank you guys!
Selfies are becoming a tradition at the beginning of each walk:-)
