Week 7

The weather in Colorado is generally fabulous.  We're just starting week 7 of our training program, and not once have I thought that it might be a better idea to do our walking on a treadmill instead.

Until today.

Boo.  I had no idea it was supposed to snow today.  It hasn't really snowed that much, but it's colder than it usually is around here (around 25 degrees ... I know it's way worse in Iowa ... constantly).  Jake's schedule was pretty full today, so we weren't going to get to walk until after food closet tonight, so it would be dark and colder.  We decided that we should walk separately and on the treadmill.

Jake hasn't speed-walked yet.  I wonder what it will be like for him, cuz it was pretty boring for me.  Long story made short- the treadmill in the workout room stares at a blank wall with no tvs.  I HATE exercising indoors, but if I'm going to, it's way less boring when there is a tv to stare at.

Let's just say that after 5 minutes, I was appalled that I still had 40 minutes left.

But it wasn't really that bad.  My feet are more sore now though than they ever have been.  I wonder if it's because today was the first day of speed walking for 45 minutes as opposed to 30?  Weird.  Anyway, I hope that I can walk outside again on Wednesday!
