100% of my goal to walk 120 miles is complete!!!

Ten weeks ago we started a fitness challenge that
our director encouraged everybody to participate in. Week ten is now complete and I have walked
120 miles. Yahhhhoooo!
When I started this fitness challenge so many weeks
ago, I had recently been dealing with my back issues and the news that the issue is permanent. I had already started walking as
a form of activity so I figured setting a goal to walk 120 miles in 10 weeks
would be a good starting place. Little
did I know that 12 miles a week would soon feel a lot harder than it seemed!
Mostly it was just time. You really have to commit to setting aside
the time to exercise. Sure, I can walk
pretty fast so an outside four mile walk would take me about an hour. However, I was also going to the Y some days
to walk the track and do my PT moves on the exercise ball. That takes extra time when you factor in
driving to/from the YMCA.
I was ahead of my weekly mileage goals since I
counted the distance Danielle and I walked in Vegas that her FitBit
logged. It wasn’t until these last few
weeks that I lost my motivation to get out for a walk. I was starting to feel bored. I also found my last few weeks of days off
were quite busy.
Regardless, I powered through and completed my 120th
mile on Friday to finish the challenge strong.
Sunday: No activity
I was feeling lazy on Sunday so I didn’t exercise.
Monday: 2.5 miles
I went to the Y and completed 2.5 miles on the track
before doing some PT moves. It was
REALLY busy at the Y so I actually just did my laps all at the same time. I was able to keep my heart rate up for a longer
amount of time too. 3 APs earned.
Tuesday: No Activity
I never got a workout in today. I was at Edmark with my car for repairs
before going to my WW meeting. Later that evening I decided
to drag out our tree and Christmas decorations so we could get some photos for
our Christmas Card. I never made time to
actually exercise.
Wednesday: 3 miles
I decided to shake things up and do Walk Away The
Pounds (WATP) DVD at home. I did a 3 mile
walk and then lifted some weights. 4 APs
earned.
Thursday: No Activity
With Thanksgiving, a nap, a movie, and some Black
Friday late night/early morning shopping, I never did any formal exercise
today.
Friday: 2.5 miles
I knew I needed to finish up this challenge and I
really didn’t want to let myself down. I
jumped on the treadmill for an incline workout to finish up my 120 mile
goal. 4 APs earned.
Saturday: No Activity
I decided on extra sleep/snuggle time with Kenyon
today.
Total for week ten: 8 miles
Total for challenge: 120 miles of 120 miles
walked!!!
According to the Excel sheet we are to log our info
to, I completed 100% of my commitment.
I exercised 1891 minutes, which is equivalent to
31.52 hours walked.

I have been asked what
my next goal is. I am not really
sure. I need to keep up with the PT
moves so walking the track is still a realistic option. I would also like to ramp up the intensity of
my workouts and maybe get back into some classes at the Y.
