Health knowledge made personal
   Afterwards I headed into the house ate a PB Twix bar and called it a night at 1AM. I was woken on Saturday by my daughter at 8AM who was ready to head to the Parade. I laid in bed and used the stick roller to roll out my legs before even attempting to get out of bed. We attended our local Salmon Day's Parade and Street Fair where I proceeded to walk about 6miles at medium pace. I can estimate the distance as the Street Fair is on part of a normal route that I run. We walked to the fair instead of taking the shuttle and afterwards when the family was tierd they opted for the shuttle and I walked home. Sunday I didn't to work out and did many other things like shopping for new furniture, grocery shopping and baking before getting on the treadmill. I walked 5 miles on Sunday night, 5 long and slow miles. My body was done. I was going to try to go longer as my scheduled called for 13 on Sunday. I just couldn't force myself to go any longer. I think had I planned better and got the walk in earlier things would have been easier. As I said earlier in this post Monday is rest day. A day that I am thankful for. I am offically 6 weeks out from the walk and I am loving this week. It is an easier week with my highest mileage being 10 miles. Seems like a cake walk now.  |

Thursday was my first work out of the week. I got home late, but early enough to get on the treadmill by 8PM. I completed 5.25 miles that night.
Friday my work schedule finally returned to normal and I was glad that I could get home while it was still light out and spend time with my family. Then I got a crazy idea. I was scheduled to walk 17 miles on Saturday, but we had a Parade to attend at 10AM. There was no way I was going to get my walk in then get to the Parade in time. I decided to get on the treadmill that night and get it in on Friday. You read that right I completed 17 miles on the treadmill on Friday night.
