Walkin streak 11-13

Not as much walking as I would like this week so far.  I have very minimal walking and more cross training. Today was freight day at work, So I know I was a little more walking than a normal workday.  I might get out and do some of my crazy walking to night.  Also closing three nights this week doesn't help, maybe a small walk after the kiddo gets out of school and before work.  I guess time will tell!

WSD6 & 7

Due to the rain I got very little in yesterday.  I think maybe a little, nut nothing to write home about.  Tonight I did my loop in front of my house over 50 times, I think it might have been closer to 70ish.  But I stoppes counting after 50.  I got 1.8 miles in tonight.  I was going to try for more, but couldn't do it.

I got my US Road Running 5k Club medal today.  That means I have registered for 12 of their races so gar this year.  Headed for beast mode which is over 50! 🙄  I did it last year, just getting a later start this year.

WSD3

Got in 1.3 miles with the fam tonight.  Only .3 shy of finishing one 5k and all of the other walk.  A little disappointing, but as my husband said the night isn't over yet.

WSD2 cont.

I was able to get in half of one of the 5ks tonight.  I walked 1.5 miles which means I need 1.6 miles to finish the Movie Madness and 3.1 miles for the Pink Ninja.  I can do it.  Only need 4.7 miles tomorrow.  Monday through Friday is all about earning my Movie Madness Half Marathon.



WDS2

wsd2:
I have decided to try walking a little every day.  It won't be easy, but I'm going to give it a try.  I got in about half a mile in yesterday with the kids and my mom.  I have to go out for a little tonight yet to get in my walk today.  I think my daughter's birthday is a good start.  She just turned 2 yesterday.  I am going to find ways to get the walks in.  On Tuesdays and Thursday depending on what I'm scheduled and my son's school, after I drop my son off I can get a little walking in.  I'll figure the rest out day by day.


My son saw the picture of the dog challenge and now wants his own,  I am signed up for the 31 mile challenge and will sign my son up for the 15 mile challenge.  (I hate to say it, but the walking won't hurt either of us!)  So we will be working on earning this one together.



I'm hoping to earn the Movie Madness and the Pink Ninja this weekend.  I wasn't able to get up as early as I wanted to this morning because of the kids.  So I'm going to try and get up early and get some miles in tomorrow before the kids get up.  Wish me luck!

9 new runs added to the list.  3 of them are awareness walks.  ACT Fast Stroke Awareness in honor of my mother-in-law, Karen, who survived her stroke and in the memory of my "adoptive" grandpa, Charles, who didn't survive his stroke.  Organ Donation Awareness, because with out organ donation I wouldn't have had the honor of meeting Heather, who is an awesome lady with a great sense of humor.  The last one was for the Honeybees, because without them we wouldn't have some pretty amazing things.  
2 of the races were fundraisers.  Walk for the Cure-We are a Scout Unit located in Mt. Washington, KY. Our Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts have taken part in the Making Strides Breast Cancer walk for the last 3 years and we would like to be able to help as much as we can.  HCM Veterans Assistance-Haywood Christian Ministry is a crisis assistance ministry in Western North Carolina that helps more than 14,000 people per year. The HCM Veterans Assistance Fund helps Veterans, their families and their widows who are experiencing a family or financial crisis. 100% of the proceeds from this event will be used to help Veterans and their families.
The rest of the races are Save the Pumpkins, With God, Haunted House, and Breast Cancer Run.  These 9 put me into the 5k club for registering for 12 runs in one year.  Next up is the Beast mode which means I need to sign up for 50 or more so at least 38 more...It's possible!

Never Forget

My pup helped me to finish earning this medal.  I figured I finished in 01:29:10.  We will never forget that day.  My heart foes out to those who lost someone

Never Forget and Birthday

My son and I got in 1.2 miles on Friday and my daughter joined us for 0.7 of it.  My son earned his mile Birthday medal, my daughter only need 0.3 more to earn hers.

Today I walked aimlessly around a park while my husband watched the kids on the playground.  I got another 0.71 in.  So I only need 1.2 more miles to earn my We Will Never Forget in honor of those who lost their lives on 9/11.

I'm going to try and get the walk finished tonight or tomorrow.

3 new races

So i have 3 new races fron US Road Running.  Walk By Faith, All Things Through Christ and We Will Never Forget.  Going to try and get a couple knocked out this weekend.  If I plan to do another half next year than inneed to start now.  As long as I have no surprises

runs

I was going through the virtual runs that that I have "marked" as done.  But I notice I didn't have them all listed on the blog...SO  I'm going to add those to me redo pile I think.  Than there are ones I have on the blog but don't have times listed, also being added to my redo pile.  That way I know I'm not cheating myself.  Though I'm pretty sure I'm not.  SO it seems like 13 might be getting added to the pile of the every growing pile.  (Because I've added 3 more this month, and plan on adding more.  I'm sticking to just US Road Running only because I know they are reliable)  You should check them out  https://usroadrunning.com/  if you sign up use the ambassador code TSLL9F

Update on info and goals

So obviously my height hasn't changed.  But my weight which was CCCXX when i started the blog is now CCCXL,  which I'm not happy about...i have only myself to blame though.  I have stress and bordem snacking and i find myself not wanting to get out and try to do stuff with the kids.  Maybe with the cooler weather i will try.  I have a FEW virtual walks to do and by a few I mean over 50 and thats just with US Road Running.  I still would like to redo most of my walks.  I still have to hang the medals which i have been post poning until i know what we are doing with our house.  With 2 kids they can't share a room forever.

MS awareness done

Finished up the MS awareness walk today at the zoo with my family.
