According to the book, this week I should be out walking 4 days, 30 minutes per day, at the same pace as last week (17-20 min mile). I'm walking at a little bit better clip than that, which will make next week a bit easier.
It looks like I will be entering the world of marital marathoning. Jim has decided to join me in my madness. We shall see if time permits. Last time he ran into hip problems but that was probably due to skipping through portions of the preliminary training..tsk, tsk..and his skeletal system just wasn't properly readied for the task. He didn't do Week One with me this time, but when he was in Chicago last week, he did a bit of walking around town. Now we just have to find a good time to do this every day.
Lest I get cushy, there is a fresh dusting of snow on the ground to slog through, it's 38 degrees, and there is an 80% chance of freezing drizzle. Oh goody, optimum training weather! I would zip out and go now before the heavens burst forth, but I have to start school with the girls soon and there is no one here to watch Carrie anyway. I'll get out there later. Neither rain, nor sleet, nor gloom of night....
If you're having trouble sticking to any kind of exercise program, you might consider getting a copy of the book listed to the right, and jump in to train. There is something about exercise with a specific, large, seemingly unattainable goal attached that kind of keeps you going. Once you flap your gums about it to someone else, then you actually have to follow through with it. This is a GOOD thing (really).

I actually looked for that book at B&N yesterday but they did not have a copy that I could find, and I had already harassed the staff enough. I did looked at the reviews at Amazon.com and it has an amazing rating. I am going to check the library.
How much have you lost and how much more do you have to go? Or, do you not share that info. Couldn't find it on your blog.
Borders tends to have it in stock while B & N usually has to order it. If you're a skinflint like me you probably noticed that Amazon had a few used copies hanging around as well.
Yep, I noticed the used ones. However, I was wondering if the shipping would cost as much as ordering the new one. (we have Amazon Prime) Our library does not have it, either. I just might order it from Amazon. Of course, I do have a birthday coming up. . .hmmmm. . .
Maybe Ox can buy it for you and in the process decide that he wants to run a marathon with you. Togetherness.
