OC bridge is falling down falling down: 10 miles! 10 miles!!
This morning something told me to take my running shoes, IPOD and be ready for a good day. I wanted to walk because well because I do a lot of other cardio classes that are intensive. SO easy walking was my goal.
Goal - 8 to 10 miles walking
What did I get in 10 miles of walking
See, even when I set this goal I doubted myself. I can walk but not that much in one day. Jane, my assistant mapped our walk at break and told me .66 miles. I figure I could get about 2 miles in and do 8 at home. Well turned out it was .91 miles which made my walk during two breaks and lunch about 3.64 miles.
GREAT NEWS!! The shocks that cost me over a grand came in. With a cloudy day ahead of me I took full advantage of it. I walked the remainng 6.36 miles around my business complex and surrounding area which is right next to John Wayne Airport! Not only did I walk but I walked the OC bridge - the over pass 6 times! That was a very steep walk and it was AWESOME!!!! I loved it. While Rod worked at his friend’s rim shop to put the shocks on I walked the evening away.
Honestly, walking like Salsa does not tire me out. I’m used to high intensive cardio and sweating like a pig. Well, the cold air, cloudy day contributed to lack of sweat I will say.
My goal is to do these long walks once a week. So next week I am going for 12 miles - I want to do my own walking marathon. That way, I know when it’s time to do the LA marathon next year I can run/walk it until I finish.
I realized one other thing too………as long as I have a pair of shoes, my music and these two good lungs God blessed me with I can EXERCISE ANY TIME ANY PLACE!
If I had my sports bra I would have done a walk/run.
Hey tomorrow is a new day. I am aiming to get 350 more regular push-ups in, a weight routine after work and a good 3 mile run in 30 minutes.
SET YOUR MIND TO IT AND IT WILL BE DONE! THE ONLY PERSON STOPPING YOU IS YOU!!
Day 2 of 100
Food Angel = 2
Food Demon = 0
what is this food angel and food demon?? lol
congrats on the 10 miles!!
OH, it’s my 100 day personal no night time eating competition. It’s the only way I stay motivated to do anything is to compete against myself. See, if I make it 100 days night time eating free I get to buy a new COACH bag.
3 miles in 30 minutes!!! Holy crap woman!!
You are officially labeled Ms. Awesomeness!!! Lolz… Keep it up~~~!!!
Very inspiring. You set a goal and fulfills it. If you can do it I can too but not 10 miles. I’m going for 4 miles!
I love how inspiring you are and how positive your posts are. You are so motivated and I need to learn how to be like that
It is very true that you can exercise anywhere at anytime and that we need to appreciate that we all have healthy enough lungs to get out there and do things, unlike many people. Keep up your hard work!

wow… you’re up to 10miles already? I cant wait for the blog when you say “I ran 10 miles!!!” which is going to happen before the end of the summer. I can feel it.. usre you’re up to 3 miles already!!
Amazing!!!! I wish I had a good place to walk by work
You can totally do 10 miles in one day! Our bodies are made to walk and i think people would be suprised how much walking they do in a normal day!
You have inspired me though, I’m gonna try to take a walk this afternoon (thunderstorms argh) so we shall see how that goes!

Yay! That’s awesome! I should map out a loooonnng walk for the pup and I. We have only been going for 1/2 hour walks because I can never find a good route..maybe if I map it out I can find somewhere a lil more interesting to walk. Keep up the great work!
10 miles!!!! Wow!! That is just freaking awesome. You didnt even sweat lmao. Omg, I would have been dying. I can do 10-15 miles in one week does that count???
I did a challenge for myself one day on how far I could walk at one time–been a while back–and I made 5 miles–thinking of you doubling that is just freaking amazing!!
Walking is the first thing I did when I started adding activities back into my life. It’s an awsome excersise, and as long as you don’t get bored, it will be a great thing for your low-intensity day. A day of hiking in some great outdoors is my idea of the weekend well spend. I can’t wait till June when we can go out to the mountains again and walk, and let the bay run around!
Mel, I love it - can I use it? Miss Awesomessness!
Lori, yep, it’s the only way to do it. The right attitude counts.
Thanks for the support girl.
Blaithin, You know it hon! I want that blog soon too! Maybe in two months.
