A lighter walking schedule this week

[jaunthie]

This week's training schedule is much lighter than the last few weeks; it's one of the "recovery" weeks. It's supposed to help give your muscles and feet a bit of a breather before tackling the next series of challenges. My walking schedule for this week:

• Tuesday: 3 miles


• Thursday: 4 miles


• Saturday: 5 miles


• Sunday: 3 miles

...which totals up to just 15 miles minimum for the week. (Heh: the instinctive "just" that I added automatically to the previous sentence makes me chuckle.) That's less than half of what I walked last week. Last week's total came to 31.65 miles, a smidgen more than half the distance I'll need to be able to cover in three days. I'm feeling pretty good about the walk at the moment. And I must admit the recovery week is excellently timed; my husband and I are going out of town for the weekend, so fitting in really long walks would have been a challenge.

Now if I can just finish my fundraising...only $130.00 to go! I've added a link to my donor page on the Links List. I've also added a link to the team page. Only drawback: I hit my links limit, so I had to trim out a few other links for the time being. Hm...must see if I can tweak that parameter to allow me more links!

OK, it has to be said...

I just find it amusing that the quintessential line from a personal ad is "Likes long walks on the beach," you're going away for a romantic weekend with your husband, and long walks are explicitly not part of the plan. Perhaps you scheduled so many other activities (family? theatre? roller coasters?) that you won't have time for walks. Or maybe ou expect to, um, burn calories in a completely different way... Yeah, OK, never mind, move along, nothing to see here.

Heh - with my husband still recovering from the effects of last year's foot surgery saga et al, no, I think I can confidently say that 8-10 mile walks are not on the agenda. As for the rest of it, yes, we have many plans, and no, I'm not going into any more details than that. :-p
