I was in Chicago from Wednesday through Saturday and I got all of my walking in....and then some. We didn't even get the car out of the lot the whole time. It was so cold that walking fast was a necessity! I never used the escalator or elevator when I had a choice (except in the hotel itself because the stairs were kind of creepy).
Now I am ready for next week's new walk/run schedule, while I'll post either tomorrow morning or this evening should I have a moment.

Having abandoned my attempt at a marathon three years ago due to injury, I am now charging myself with getting back in the running shorts. I'm out of shape, overweight, and very unhappy about it. Watch me change!
Books to Help This Thing Happen
- The Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer by David Whitsett, Forrest Dolgener and Tanjala Kole
Who am I Anyway?
I am a 49-year-old, non-runner who has a crazy notion that I want to run a marathon. Partly spurred on by my sister, I intend to participate in the Detroit Free Press Marathon on October 19, 2008. This will be my chance to do something that I still can't really visualize myself doing, and I'll do it before I turn 50. This blog will chronicle the ups, downs, ins, and outs of my journey from complete physical inactivity to the world of marathoning. Okay, quit laughing.............

Good job Sis!! That is good to hear. I know that I don't take escalators or elevators if I can help it because I know it is better for me to take the stairs. But I have a bad knee and if there are a lot of stairs my knee gives out after several of them. But I do park in the "north 40" at Walmart and other stores so I can walk a longer distance....my kids hate that one!! LOL!! Sounds like you are coming along on your plan. Keep up the good work!!
Great job! We have had a vacation or two when we parked the car and walked the whole time. I love that kind of vacation.
