Day 310

Stats: Zumba 45 minutes; Walk/Run 1:03 (4.25 miles)

Is there a Zumba class for the ridiculously uncooridinated? If there is, sign me up.

Seriously though, I have hope that I will eventually learn the Zumba moves. Tammy & I actually had a couple of off topic discussions while doing a few of the Zumba steps with the instructional video. Then we hit some new moves. It's entertaining, to say the least.

Afterward, I went to the track to run. It was rather hard, today. Plus, at 30 degrees, breathing was a bit difficult. The cold air has left me with a cough.

Data:

Lap 1: Walk 4:26
Lap 2: Run 2:47
Lap 3: Walk 4:26
Lap 4: Run (3/4 lap)/Walk 3:18
Lap 5 & 6: Walk 8:44
Lap 7: Run (3/4 lap)/Walk 3:07
Lap 8: Walk 4:24
Lap 9: Walk 4:21
Lap 10: Run (3/4 lap)/Walk 3:13
Lap 11: Walk 4:26
Lap 12: Walk 4:18
Lap 13: Run (3/4 lap)/Walk 3:09
Lap 14: Walk 4:19
Lap 15: Walk 4:20
Lap 16: Walk 4:19

270 days until the Megatransect.

Day 309

Day 1 of Zumba...I have no rhythm. LOL!

Oh my word! How long does it take to learn the moves? Does ones body just get used to moving like that?

Really, I probably looked like Forrest Gump. Dance, Forrest! Dance!

Thank goodness for the privacy of my own home and a friend to look ridiculous with.

Try again, tomorrow, Forrest.

Megatransect Here I Come


I did it! This afternoon, I signed up for the Bald Eagle Megatransect. A 26 mile trail event that entails running, hiking and climbing.
If you are curious about the event, go here:
That's my goal for 2011. To train for and complete the Megatransect. That's all I want, to finish.
The countdown begins...273 days to go.

Day 307

Stats: Walk/Run 1 hour, 9 minutes (4.25 miles)

Ran 3 quarter mile segments & 2 partial quarter mile segments.

Today was supposed to be warmer than the 40 degrees we received. The plan was to Walk/Run the 5 mile lake loop. Instead, rain threatened according to the radar. Time was of the essence. As a result, Tim & I went to town for the New Year's Day walk.

I haven't done anything since the episode before Thanksgiving. Therefore, I am extremely pleased with the distance & running segments accomplished.

At present, two and 1/2 hours post workout, I am feeling a bit sore.

On the scale this morning...164.2 pounds. My goal was to maintain my weight through November & December. Very happy with the results.
