Day two.....Surfdesk!

Bleah. I'm tired, and my pedometer didn't work for the first couple of hours, so I only show 2650 steps. Maybe I walked two or three miles? Hard to say, and it was in little chunks, as I was constantly interrupted, or tired enough to stop.

On the upside, I got the Surfdesk from Amazon today, and it works well! When I'm up to it, it will work for me. No way to use a mouse, though.

Weeeee, another minute, more steps

Today I ran for 17 minutes, and it continues to get easier rather than harder! I'm tempted to run until I'm tired instead of just moving up a minute, but I think it's safer to ramp up slowly. Step meter says: 7296 steps today, 5103 of those "moderate" in 41 mins. 3.4 miles! Mileage this week, in reverse order: 4.1, 2.2, 3.4, 1.7, 2.5, 1.3, 2.0, 1.6. Steps this week, in reverse order, moderate in ( ): 7376 (5103), 4846 (2778), 7371 (4886), 3786 (1817), 5386 (2537), 2886 (511), 4431 (2312), 3491 (1637) I'm not steadily going up in distance each day, but the trend is up, and as long as I can keep taking more steps, and running more, I'm getting where I want to go. I would love to be able to run an hour without stopping, and run at least 5 miles. I've not given up my long-time dream of climbing Mount Rainier. That sucker is TALL though, and so just getting in shape is not enough. It's the first necessary step, though, and I do not want to give ...

Grrrr

Feeling like a failure. Half a run today, 25 mins, instead of my 50-minute goal. I just couldn't force myself to keep running. And tonight my thought was to make up for it by working out; didn't do that either. Yesterday my damn pedometer cheated me out of 15 mins of my run! What the hell is that about? I did run for 25 minutes, and started my day with a full ab workout, which is getting almost doable now. So progress hasn't stopped; just stalled. Whatever. Sat. July 19: 4872 (3387), 25 mins. 2.3 miles. Fri. July 18: 10575 (6479), 53 mins. 5.0 miles. Thurs. July 17: 7738 (5716), 44 mins. 3.6 miles. Wed. July 16: 8849 (4060), 33 mins. 4.1 miles. Tue. July 15: 8219 (6148), 46 mins. 3.8 miles. Mon. July 14: 7403 (3914), 32 mins. 3.5 miles. Sun. July 13: 8370 (6316), 47 mins. 3.9 miles. Sat. July 12: 10655 (7847), 60 mins. 5.0 miles. So twice this week I couldn't run my whole run, but twice this week I've done 5 miles, and over 10k steps. And for m...

Wow, it's been awhile since I posted here. First I got bored of blogging about walking, and then I got bored of walking. Now I'm no longer satisfied to sit most of the time, and not be moving! A few months ago I came across an article about walking while working, and investigated that a bit. I mentioned it to Debs, who recommended Brain Rules , which I ordered from the library and read. The author, Dr. John Medina, discusses the research which indicates that since we evolved while walking, our brains and bodies work the best if we are moving most of the time. For more on that, see http://www.brainrules.net/ . So I've ordered a treadmill. I looked on Craigslist, but gosh there are a lot of them, and it seemed easier to just buy one new and have the guarantee in place. Plus, delivery and setup! I'm anxiously awaiting the email from Costco with a delivery day. Just can't wait! I ordered the XTerra TR6.55. Come quickly! Supposedly shipped by truck from Arkansas on...
