The countdown has begun, we are 24 weeks out from The 3-day in Chicago. You know what this means, train, train, train! We are all working hard on staying motivated and keeping the fight going, please don't let yourself down by not doing your part...training! I have already noticed that some of you have committed to the training process, your clothes are starting to hang on you, I say...."Woo Hoo". My suggestion is not to go out shopping for new clothes, this is only the beginning and if you start shopping now you might have to do it over and over before the event in August.
One thing that I do recommend you do is really look into the shoes that you will be walking with. I got my new shoes this week, I will be walking in running shoes as that is what I am used to wearing but each of you can get the shoe that works best for you. Please remember that you all should have gotten your packet in the mail and that packet included a 10% off coupon from New Balance. Use the coupon if you decide to go with a New Balance product.
Five miles today, you should be walking at 3mph so this won't take you too long. Remember that walking on a treadmill is different from walking on a sidewalk...we need to get outside soon! If you are able, try to do at least one mile outside this weekend.
WE CAN DO THIS...LETS MAKE OUR DREAM A REALITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Walked five miles on Saturday and it was an awesome feeling once it was completed! My feet hurt a little and yes I am definitely going to be getting new shoes this coming weekend.
ReplyDeleteWe left my home and drove five miles from the house and then my husband just dropped me off. It was psychologically easier to know that every step I took brought me closer to home.
Go Pink Ninjas!!!!
