Add. 30 miles to this. Long story.

Also: Shred Day 26 done.

Back on tthe treadmill

Crappy. I told Jess about the Seattle race, & she said she'd come down for it if we could both start s training program for it by September ... Ack! !

So ...

4 miles on the treadmill tonight - 2 of those running. And not slowly (for me).

Cheers. Hope I can still walk & do the Shred tomorrow. I feel like I'm gambling here ...

Five frickin' days left ...

Shred Day 25 is out of the way.

Seriously, even though Level 3 hurts (a lot), I don't hate it as much as I hated (HATED) level 2. If I do this again, I may still do ten days of Level 1, do Level 2 for about five days, and then blast Level 3 for 15. I want to be able to do the full versions of some of these plank exercises and the plyometrics. Can't do that right now. Eesh.

Anyway.

Five days left. Then vacation. Huzzah.

Gotta say, though: My abs and obliques - if they weren't covered by this flab - I think they'd look pretty rockin' awesome right now. I can feel the muscles. They feel like good muscles. (yay!)

Oh, the park: I heart you

Fourth of July meanderings: 1.5 miles
4.25 miles Tuesday around the lake
1 mile back to the lake to enjoy the clear, perfect night and hope to see some leftover fireworks (yeah ... that didn't happen).

So ...

6.75 miles this week
7.75 miles this month
279.15 miles this year

220.85 mile remaining

Level 3

Shred Day 21 is done, and I only doubled over in breathless pain twice. Maybe three times. All during the rock star jumps. And I was doing the modified versions. I think "modified" will define my Level 3 experience.

Also: I've gained weight. And not a little bit. Effing pizza. And wine. And licorice ... ice cream, half n' half, Wheat Thins, almonds, hearty chicken-noodle soup, caramel-filled chocolate bar, hot cocoa ...

*sigh* 

I excel at self-sabotage.

Need to write this down before I space it out ...

I'm calling my toodles around St. Helens at least two miles. (June)

And I'm calling my toodles around the lake for the Cardboard Boat Regatta at least 1 mile. (July)

And I've finished through Day 20 on the 30-Day Shred. Tonight will begin Level 3, and I previewed it last night while partaking of a celebratory glass of wine.

*whimper*

So.

11.4 miles last week
37.4 mile for June
1 mile for July so far
272.4 miles for the year (still haven't figure out how much/if I should add for the missed mileage around the lake ...)

227.6 miles remaining.
