Merrily tweaking away

jaunthieHm. Okay, I think I've managed to do enough basic tweaking that I can live with the styles and colors and things for now. Definitely going to have to do some serious investigation as to other tweaks later, though.
One bummer: As far as I can tell, the calendar function here is strictly for noting what days have journal entries, and how many entries. I was hoping to use the calendar to track walking days. Oh well, guess I'll just have to do it the hard way for now - in journal entries. Oh, the horror! ;-)
So, to recap activities so far, the 3-Day thoughtfully provides a 24-week training schedule, at the end of which one should be able to walk the 60 miles in 3 days, barring accidents and the like. We're just entering Week 3, which breaks down like this:
...which makes for a grand total for the week of 15 miles, plus some cardio work on other days, which doesn't sound like a whole lot given that I'll be walking 20 miles a day for 3 days by the end of this. But hey, I figure the folks at the 3-Day org know what they're doing setting things up this way, with the gradual build-up. I'm also not stressing too much about it if I go over a bit. For those curious about my progress so far:
One amusing consequence of all this walking and training is that I'm calculating out lots of distances to common destinations around my house. Thank goodness for MapQuest!
Okay, I think that's more than enough for one journal entry!

- Week One: Goal is 12 miles (3/3/3/3). I walked: 12.5. Not much differential.
- Week Two: Goal is 13 miles (3/3/4/3). I walked: 18.2 miles, mostly because there were lots of opportunities to walk that week (thanks N, M, B, C, and P!), and I was feeling much recovered from the cold I'd had.

Assimilation does seem to be the appropriate word
