9 Miles

Last week was another week I didn’t meet my fitness goal.  I’m very frustrated with myself.  I had migraines for three days.  Oh well, it’s a new day and I met my goal today. 

I walked 9 miles this morning.  My marathon schedule was for 6 miles, but I made up the 9 mile week I was supposed to do last week.  The first 5 miles were walking outside with Terri, followed by walking 4 miles on the treadmill.  I set the treadmill for a 1% grade incline.  A 1% incline is supposed to simulate walking outside.  It seems to be a bit harder than walking outdoors.  I figure erring on the side of more difficult rather than less difficult is better for my fitness level.  The temperature outside was 76 degrees by noon.  It was warmer than the weather forecasters predicted. 

I promise to faithfully follow my training schedule the rest of this week .  🙂
