Please note---I made Goal on the 18th- (must not have been visable enough)--(fixed that, lol!)
And have still been doing about an hour every day since then too.

Best of luck to everyone in making your monthy goals.

Congrats Seemyfeet.

I have been sick since last Sunday; that always messes up everything. We caught some sort of a spring cold bug, that has been nasty.

I hope I get back to walking by tomorrow...

Well, I ran 9.5 miles this week, which is almost twice as much as I did in the two weeks prior so I'd say that's pretty darn good. Saturday was my first 3+ mile run since May 2nd, too. It was tough as it was really hot out but I pushed through!

I'm getting in the habit of writing out my workout routine in advance so that I have a schedule to stick to. I figure this is probably a good place to post it:

Monday: Cross train (canoeing) - done
Tuesday: P.M. HIIT at gym, 2.5 miles
Wednesday: Rest
Thursday: A.M. Run - 2.5 miles
Friday: P.M. Strength at gym
Saturday: A.M. Run - 3 miles
Sunday: A.M. Run - 2 miles
