Lightning Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 3.6 today. Pretty sure my hip issue is my IT band. Trying to take it easy. I have a 2 mile walk on the schedule then my half marathon Saturday. I'm going to finish even if I have to limp across the finish line. 1 Quote Level 23 Assassin Current Challenge "Nothing is true; everything is permitted" Link to comment
stupendousme Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I went out walking today even though I didn't really feel like it. I haven't felt like walking but I told myself that I can't buy myself a song off itunes unless I walk two miles. I really want the Taylor Swift album... I see much walking in my future. 2 Quote Hillary // Level 1 // Current Challenge Previous Challenges: One Epic Quest - Blog - Instagram Folding 1,000 Cranes Link to comment
xxjj Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Hi all! Was germy for five days and now getting back into the swing on things. Got in a morning 1.2 while listening to The Walk. Any suggestions on how to handle sick days during the 6WC? Hope everyone has a terrific week!

Endor Posted April 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Hi all! Was germy for five days and now getting back into the swing on things. Got in a morning 1.2 while listening to The Walk. Any suggestions on how to handle sick days during the 6WC? Hope everyone has a terrific week!Well it depends what your goals are and how sick you are. I don't train if I'm sick, rest if you need to but don't use it as an excuse not to eat well. In fact your nutrition is even more important when you are sick or injured. Unless you're laid up with zero energy and need to be sleeping all the time I would also consider short walks in the fresh air helpful for raising my spirits when I'm sick. Nice job getting back into it today 1 Quote Endor, LVL 45 Half-Elf Ranger PR and Motivation Log | Current Battle Log Feb-March 2022 Challenge Link to comment

wockerjabi Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I checked my route against Google Maps just now, and found that I've been underestimating it by three tenths of a mile.

Lightning Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Bonus 2 miles today. Went downtown with the kids and decided to walk a mile for our favorite grilled cheese sandwiches. Had to walk back which was good because I ate the whole thing. 1 Quote Level 23 Assassin Current Challenge "Nothing is true; everything is permitted" Link to comment
lattesugarnomore Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Finally got my butt to walking, and found it quite enjoyable. Walked 2 miles today; it's hard to create a new habit with life throwing everything at you xD 2 Quote Current Challenge: June 8, 2015 Starting weight: 165lb June 8:June 15:June 22:June 29:July 6:July 13: "Strength does not come from physical capacity-It comes from an indomitable will."Mahatama Gandhi Link to comment
Nnimn Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Ain't that the truth? Awesome you still got miles in. I couldn't log many miles so far but I'm hoping to tonight and tomorrow. My life is likewise crazy but I refuse to get into a slump of busyness. Hope everyone keeps their momentum up and I wish you all excellent walking weather and/or the fortitude to persevere if not!

Lightning Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Half Marathon is done. I can't feel parts of my legs while I can feel too much in other parts. DH and I were in the back with the other slowpoke runners and race walkers so I'm counting every extra tenth of a mile I had to walk just to reach the starting line. 13.5 miles total. 2 Quote Level 23 Assassin Current Challenge "Nothing is true; everything is permitted" Link to comment

Nnimn Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 I impressed myself and got in 5 miles today! I also probably sunburned my face, so I guess that balances it out. Hurrah! That's awesome. Still just walking around your apartments or have you found something more interesting yet? Sorry bout the crispy face tho....I don't if it's the same in NY but here spring always fools me since it's not quite as hot so I don't think about sunblock ever and I usually end up looking lobsterish. I got in about 5 or 6 miles. I couldn't check it with my phone so I will say 5 for now, hoping to add to that this evening. 2 Quote 1st - 2nd - 3rd - 4th - Current ChallengeNinja AssassinNo one believes our excuses but us... so let's stop making them and go accomplish something!

NeverThatBored Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 I walked downtown today, so it was a somewhat more interesting walk! I usually head down there a couple times a month and it's a perfect walking length! It's a little long for an after-work walk on weekdays though. And yeah, it's Spring being tricky but also I burn easily and I was out for a while, so the sunscreen might have worn off. I hope all of this walking will get some color in my cheeks! 1 Quote Gargoyle Ranger | Level 49 2022 challenges: 49 (current) 2015-2021 challenges: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 |15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 || 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30 | 31 | 32 | 33 || 34 | 35 | 36 | 37 | 38 | 39 | 40 | 41 | 42 || 43 | 44 | 45 | | 46 | 47 | 48 || My epic quest | MEATBALL WARS You don't get better at anything unless you start doing it.

I hope all of this walking will get some color in my cheeks! Color is always nice. It'd be fun for you to have a before and after pic just to see the tan factor. Hoping I get a bit too -I don't even mind if it's a weird tan from my running shirt n sunglasses, at least I won't glow anymore. Just got back from a night run, which doesn't contribute to tanness but at least added 4 more miles. Aiming to hit 50 by the end of the week so must focus! 2 Quote 1st - 2nd - 3rd - 4th - Current ChallengeNinja AssassinNo one believes our excuses but us... so let's stop making them and go accomplish something!
