#FitReaders is hosted by Geeky Bloggers Book Blog and That’s What I’m Talking About
It’s here, it’s here!!! I can’t believe that this BIG walk that I’ve been training for for 5 months is finally here 🙂 I’ll be heading down to my mom’s on Wednesday and then we head down to Savannah Thursday. The first leg of the walk starts bright and early Friday morning – a nice 21.5 miles, followed by 18.5 miles on Saturday and a nice 10 miles on Sunday…I’m so excited!!! As of now, the weather is supposed to be great – a little on the warm side towards the afternoon, but I’ll take that over rain! I’ll be back home Monday, so my next check-in won’t be for 2 weeks – but I’ll try to post an update or two on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram during the event! Thanks to all who have been cheering me on 🙂
February Goals:
- 10K steps M-F, at least 7,500 steps on the weekend – 4/5, 2/2
- 30 minutes of active walking every day, M-F – met
- Eat
mindfully/eat enough (esp. in important while training!) – met
My training plan for the Challenge Walk MS I’ll be doing in March of 2017:
- 4 miles, 2 days a week, interval training – met
- Distance walks (distances will vary, try to do 2 days, back-to-back ) – met!
- Practice yoga – didn’t do any full sessions this week, but got in some specific poses every day.
Here’s how my last week went:
Feb 18: 8,044 steps
Feb 19: 7,545 steps

Audiobooks listened to last week (since I’m not much of a music fan, I listen to books while I walk):
- Started & Finished Blood Lines by Angela Marsons, narrated by Jan Cramer

***In March, I’ll be doing the CHALLENGE WALK MS in Savannah, GA. It is a three-day, 50-mile walk that tests your strength and your
spirit, and makes an extraordinary difference in the lives of people
with MS and their families.

*Waves pom-poms* You got this. Best wishes to you, your mom, and your fellow walkers – plus all those supporting the event. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Wow, that is a big walk
Kristin,
Best wishes with this special walk for MS! It sounds as if you have trained and prepared well for it, so it should be enjoyable. Have a super week. 🙂
I just wanted to swing by and say thank you for walking for MS! My mother has suffered from MS since I was a child and she now is completely wheelchair bound and in a home. What I would give for a cure…
