#FitReaders: Weekly Check-in February 24

 

#FitReaders is hosted by Geeky Bloggers Book Blog  and That’s What I’m Talking About

 

It's here, it's here!!! I can't believe that this BIG walk that I've been training for for 5 months is finally here :) I'll be heading down to my mom's on Wednesday and then we head down to Savannah Thursday. The first leg of the walk starts bright and early Friday morning - a nice 21.5 miles, followed by 18.5 miles on Saturday and a nice 10 miles on Sunday...I'm so excited!!! As of now, the weather is supposed to be great - a little on the warm side towards the afternoon, but I'll take that over rain! I'll be back home Monday, so my next check-in won't be for 2 weeks - but I'll try to post an update or two on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram during the event! Thanks to all who have been cheering me on :)
 
 
February Goals: 

• 10K steps M-F, at least 7,500 steps on the weekend - 4/5, 2/2
• 30 minutes of active walking every day, M-F - met
• Eat mindfully/eat enough (esp. in important while training!) - met

  
My training plan for the Challenge Walk MS I'll be doing in March of 2017:

• 4 miles, 2 days a week, interval training - met
• Distance walks (distances will vary, try to do 2 days, back-to-back ) - met!
• Practice yoga - didn't do any full sessions this week, but got in some specific poses every day.

• Started & Finished Blood Lines by Angela Marsons, narrated by Jan Cramer

How did your week go? You can find this week's link-up here.


***In March, I'll be doing the CHALLENGE WALK MS in Savannah, GA. It is a three-day, 50-mile walk that tests your strength and your spirit, and makes an extraordinary difference in the lives of people with MS and their families.
