Getting Closer

July 2, 2008

Well I haven’t walked for the last week because I was on call and needed to stay close to the house. I am glad that is over and I don’t have to worry about that again until after the 3 Day is over. I am getting back into the swing og things by walking a quick 5 miles this morning. I plan to walk every day now at least some distance to make sure I am ready for 8/8/08 which is rapidly approaching. Fundraising is going ok. I am only $300 from my goal now so I think that will be ok too. Thanks again for supporting me and checking out my progress.

Back to Training

June 21, 2008

Well the last couple of weeks have been very busy with work, life, and bad weather so I have not gotten any training in. Now that we are under 60 days till the 3 Day starts in Chicago, I had to get back to my training. I had some things I had to get done today but I still managed to find time to get out and do 12 miles this afternoon. I could tell that I had not been walking recently because I felt this 12 miles a lot more than I had this distance a month ago. But I did get the walk in and plan on doing another couple hours on Sunday. This has been a big week for the 3 Day in Chicago. They finally release travel information and it looks like the route is going to be much different this year. We are starting at some place called Northbrook Court that is North of Chicago. The closing ceremonies are going to be different this year as well. After two years of having them at Montrose Harbor, the closing Ceremonies are going to be at Solider FIeld this year.

Pushing the Training

May 31, 2008

Well it seems that Summer is finally making an appearance in Wisconsin. Today was a perfect day for walking. I wanted to get out and do a nice long walk today since I have not been able to walk much during the week due to work schedules. I needed to go over to fix my Dad’s computer so I decided to walk over there and then ended up taking a different way back to get a little variety in the scenery and add a little distance to the walk. I originally wanted to walk about 15 miles but ended doing about 17.5 miles. I was a little sore at the end but am glad that I am pushing it earlier this year so that I will finish all 60 miles in August.
