Each week participants of the Atlanta Breast Cancer 3-Day get an email from The Virtual Trainer (sounds a bit off putting, doesn’t it?). Participants have two courses of action for training, the 24-week or the 16-week plan. The Tennessee Women (Kristen and Peggy) chose the 24-week plan because we knew we needed all the help we could get. We started out great and followed the plan for a few weeks. We grew especially fond of every Monday because, according to The Virtual Trainer, it was a rest day. One Saturday morning we walked six miles and were patting ourselves on our tired backs until we realized we had accomplished less than half of what we would be doing each day for three days. I needed Monday to get there in a hurry.
In order to make me feel like I was accomplishing something, even when she wasn’t, I purchased a pedometer and wore it constantly (except on Mondays). Don’t think this is what The Virtual Trainer had in mind, but it is interesting to see how much you walk in a day without realizing it.
Well, this is officially Week 16 and counting down. It was the Tennessee Women’s plan to be up to date at this point, or in terms of miles for this week eight by today, Friday, July 11, 2008, with another 14 scheduled for the weekend. Ain’t gonna happen. Between having to work for a living, some medical issues, blah, blah, blah, we are not going to make it this week. So, we called the Georgia Women and guess what? They are behind as well. Somehow it makes it better when all of us are messin’ up together. More on Week 15 and maybe Georgia will chime in.
Ta, ta for now!
