Road Trip Review 8/25 - 8/31

Well, another week has come and gone. I cannot believe that I have kept this up for 7 weeks running now! This is.... well, a new record for me!

So, how did I fare?

Sunday : 4.49mi (+0.99)
Monday : 1.75mi (-1.75)
Tuesday : 2.50mi (-1.00)
Wednesday : 1.75mi (-1.75)
Thursday : 10.50mi (spin class) (+7.00)
Friday : 3.5mi (Even)
Saturday : 3.5mi (Even)


So, totals for the week:

Goal: 24.50
Actual: 27.99
Difference: +3.49 miles!

WOOHOO! A small victory! If I hadn't done that spin class I would have for sure missed that goal!

So, where am I now?

I'm almost to Disneyland!!

I can almost see Cinderella's castle in Orlando!! :)

Total distance travelled: 194.33 mi
I'm closing in on ONE THOUSAND MILES!!

I have another 287 miles to go before I'm out of Florida and into Georgia.

Looking at my 7 week average, I'm averaging about 27.76 miles per week. That's only 3.25 miles more than my weekly goal. I need to step that up!! I'm hoping this week I can at least put 10 extra miles on my total on top of my minimum goal! (And it'll be without the spin class!)


If you have yet to discover what this is all about, please go see Amy. She is way more detailed than I am. And while you're there, give her a good pat on the back for her 7-week record so far and a cheer to keep her going!

Road Trip Review 8/18 - 8/24

Week 6! WHEW!

Sunday : (yes, these numbers are REAL!!) 13.50miles
Monday : (this one, too!) 15.75miles
Tuesday : 3.07miles
Wednesday : 4.93miles
Thursday : 10.12miles
Friday : 3.5miles
Saturday : 1.92miles

Total : 52.79miles
Goal : 24.50miles
Difference: +28.29miles!!

Now, to explain the outrageous numbers for Sunday, Monday, and Thursday... I went to the gym like normal Sunday morning, but my normal zumba class was full. So, I had two options... hit the free weights/treadmill/etc, but without music because I expected to be in a class... OR take a spin class that was happening in the other room. I chose the spin class. And boy am I hooked!!

It hurts, don't get me wrong. The racing seats are designed for Olive Oyl, not a fat-bottomed girl like myself, but I felt the BURN through my legs and abs too! So, those numbers are actually the numbers from the bicycle according to how far I pedaled.

YAY!

But, my knees hated me for it. So, I will only be taking one spin class a week from now on, if I even take one. No, it's not because I think it gives me an unfair advantage, but my knees can't handle too much stress put on them.

So, let's look back:

Week 1 : -6.27mi
Week 2 : -4.00mi
Week 3 : -3.64mi
Week 4 : +7.00mi
Week 5 : -1.54mi
Week 6 : +28.29mi

Total so far: 166.34mi
Goal so far: 147.00mi
Difference: +19.34miles!

And where am I now?!?!?

I'm past half-way through the state! I can almost smell the

peaches from here! (Georgia is known for its peaches..)

Gives you a pretty good perspective!

If you have not already, go CHEER ON!!! my partner in crime, Amy, for her AWESOME performance this week in making her goal!!! :) :) :)

We are fast approaching our halfway-to-halfway points, at which time you might get something special from me! :-)
