2.1 miles walked on Friday

1.65 walked & 4.75 cycled on Saturday

So 8.5 so far this weekend

9.56 for month, 2 hrs of Zumba, 30 mins of Wii Biggest Loser workout & 20 mins of weight training

Not quite where I wanted to be but 9.56 miles is still a lot more than I use to move!

Lookin good, BTB!! Are you running in those flat/Merrell-type shoes? The kind that are like five-fingers, but without the separated toes? I can't tell for sure from the photo cos it's so small LOL. If so, how does that work for you? I have a pair since about a year now and I walk (fast LOL) in them to the gym and work out in them, but I haven't tried anything high impact with them.

Those are the Vibram 5 finger shoes. I do 90% of my running in those. I do have the Merrell trail gloves and road gloves. They are both great shoes and excellent for running as long as your form is good.

Ah, I see -- I couldn't see the toes in the picture. LOL. The five-fingers (NONE of them) don't fit me cos I have freakishly long finger toes LOL. But I love the Merrell non-toe ones -- they're called gloves? I want to buy some more when I'm in the US, but I've no clue what they're called cos I bought the pair I have now in Europe.

ETA: Ha! Just looked at the label INSIDE the shoe -- go figure, it's called Lithe Glove Dark Shadow. :ph34r:

3 miles of walking on Saturday and 2 miles of running today with strength training Workout. Surprisingly, some body aches that I thought were "normal" went away when I took Friday and Saturday off from serious fitness.

Tomorrow is going to be the start of pure cross fit (3 days on, 1 day off) for next 6 months (will pretty much stop all at home workouts). I am excited! I will continue to put in the running miles as a recreational activity. I will probably reduce to 5 a day outside of running done in crossfit WOD.

Here are the Merrell's that I like and use occasionally. These are the road gloves and I also have the trail gloves.

Walked 2.6 miles today so that brings my total to 30.6. We were planning to go on a bike ride on a section of the trail we've never rode before this morning but I was having some tummy trouble so pushing my body didn't seem prudent. I was feeling better by 4pm so at least we got out and enjoyed the beautiful day!

Well, today has not been an active one. Since my "nap" extended from 2:30-6:30! Ha! Have only managed a mile or so today. Gonna try to kick out a couple more but with the one that outs my total since Monday at 29.5.

I'm quite proud of that since I have been walking an average of 2 miles 4 times a week!

Good work,all! Think of all those calories burned!!!
