Well, in the past several days, we've been doing a lot of walking lately and there's a reason. A couple of weeks ago, Amanda told me that she had always wanted to run a triathlon. I had never realized that she had wanted to run a triathlon, but I think that's pretty freaking awesome!!! So, Amanda found a training program online and now, she is following it. The first couple of weeks or so has been nothing but walking, but now, she is very slowly starting to incorporate some running within the walking. The walking has been awesome! We're walking no fewer than 1.3 miles and as of right now, we're bordering on doing two mile walks. Starting on 5/31, here are the distances and times(if noted) that she has walked:
5/31- 1.3 miles
6/1- 1.3 miles
6/2- 1.8 miles (32 minutes 43 seconds)
6/3- 1.3 miles (22 minutes 37 seconds, which included running for 1 minute 20 seconds)
6/4- 2.0 miles
6/5- off
So far in this time period, Amanda has walked 7.7 miles, which is the equivalent of walking from Beebe to Garner or Beebe to just on the other side of Austin. I will post times and distances as they will only get better and longer. Her immediate goal is to build strength and endurance up and hopefully, before too long, to walk a 5K run and then to run one.
I am so by her side and supporting her all the way. You go Amanda!!!!! I love you babe!!!!
