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! :-)

Road Trip Review 8/11 - 8/17

Well, let's see what we have here. Last week I did not post a map, so this week's map will look much more like I'm a superstar than I truly am.

We are 5 weeks in to the 25-ish week challenge, so a fifth of the way. Holy cow!!

So, let's do an overall review:

We started July 14th, and have been at this thing for 5 weeks now.

Troutville, VA (our meeting point) is 595miles (957.6km) away.

In order to meet at our halfway mark on December 31, 2013, we'd have to walk 3.5mi (5.6km) each day!!



Now let's review my first 5 weeks:

Week 1 : -6.27mi
Week 2 : -4.5mi
Week 3 : -3.64mi
Week 4 : +7.00mi

Total deficit : -7.41miles



How did I do this week?

Sunday: 2.00miles
Monday: 4.50miles
Tuesday: 4.92miles
Wednesday: 0.00miles (BOOOOOOOO)
Thursday: 4.42miles
Friday: 5.08miles
Saturday: 2.04miles

Total: 22.96miles
Goal: 24.50miles
Deficit: -1.54miles


Total 5 Week Deficit: -8.95miles

Well.... Not as good as I thought. But, for week 6 I have big plans! Muahahaha!

So, where did I end up??

113.55miles total travelled through 5 weeks!!

I am bunkering down for the night at a State Park! YAY!

A closer look at where I stopped. Wachula and Avon Park are places

my husband has driven to many times, so I still feel like I'm

not really GOING anywhere.... know what I mean?

Well, I'm about a third of the way out of the state!

Looks like I'm about to get wet through some of the

little lakes and ponds that scatter the middle of the state.

Happy trails everyone!! (BTW - Pop on over and give Amy some love!! She spent the weekend in the wilderness and I think might have come back a little more wild than when she went in!! LOL)
