Just 11 weeks (yikes!) til the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure in the Detroit area, but who is counting (other than Janet, Jim, Nancy, Terry and me)? This week's training...

Hooray; I'm back on track with my training for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure and actually walked two 11-mile days last week. How'd I do it? I followed my own advice from Create the Life You Crave, which included changing my mindset. Once I made that decision everything just fell into place, and I'm confident I'll tick off every day of this week's training:
Those of us on Tricia's Team are walking like crazy and focusing on lots of stretching including the following:

Turns out I'm way behind in my 3-Day training. I was down for the count with a rip roaring cold and sore throat last week so did not get close to the recommended training miles. And now it's catch-up time. I'm hopeful that we'll see sunshine all week so that I'll be outside for this week's training:
| Monday | Rest | |||
| Tuesday | 3 miles | Easy walking | ||
| Wednesday | 30 minutes | Moderate cross-training | ||
| Thursday | 5 miles | Moderate walking | ||
| Friday | 45 minutes | Easy cross-training | ||
| Saturday | 11 miles | Easy walking | ||
| Sunday | 5 miles | Easy walking |
If you live nearby and want to walk with me, dash me an email. It's highly likely I'll be training every single day to catch up for lost time. I'm walking for Tricia and in honor of Dad!

We're 14 weeks from the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure in mid-August. Thank goodness our training schedule is basically the same as last week. I never did get that 10 mile walk in but maybe it'll happen this week. Are you walking with us? If so, here's this week's training schedule:
| Monday | Rest | |||
| Tuesday | 3 miles | Easy walking | ||
| Wednesday | 15 minutes | Moderate cross-training | ||
| Thursday | 5 miles | Moderate walking | ||
| Friday | 30 minutes | Easy cross-training | ||
| Saturday | 10 miles | Easy walking | ||
| Sunday | 6 miles | Easy walking |
Be sure to stretch before and after your walks. Here are some suggestions from the 3-Day folks:
It's starting to feel like Spring in the northland, and on this beautiful Mother's Day, I'm going to take a walk. Maybe that 10 miler. I'm walking for Tricia and in honor of Dad... and thinking about my sweet mommy every step of the way. If she were here, Mom would be walking the 3-Day with us. She was an adventurous spirit and amazing athlete. And she's still rooting for Tricia.

The past few weeks have been a set-back for Tricia's Team due to our father's passing plus illness among our group. We debated whether to begin anew with a 16-week training schedule, but I decided to just pick up as best I could where I left off. I did manage to walk that 8 miler last week, although I broke it into a 6-mile session and a 2-mile session. This week we have 5 mile, 10 mile and 6 mile training days, and I'm going to do every one of them as follows:
| Monday | Rest | |||
| Tuesday | 3 miles | Easy walking | ||
| Wednesday | 15 minutes | Moderate cross-training | ||
| Thursday | 5 miles | Moderate walking | ||
| Friday | 30 minutes | Easy cross-training | ||
| Saturday | 10 miles | Easy walking | ||
| Sunday | 6 miles | Easy walking |
We finally managed to get the team together for a group photo. Tricia is in the center holding honorary member Dad's shoes and surrounded by (left to rt) Leslie, Janet, Jim, Terry & Nancy.
All I can say is, it's a good thing we started training a while back and have 15 more weeks until the event. We'll definitely need it to be in good form for three 20-mile walks in three days. I'm confident I'll be ready. I'm walking for Tricia and in honor of Dad!
