2 Miles with Fort Bend Fit

This morning was the first outing for Fort Bend Fit. 2 miles was on the schedule. Since I have to do 8 miles this weekend, I opted to walk with the Purple group and take it easy. It was fun to see the enthusiasm of the newbees and their fear of the 2 mile training. Oh, what wonders time does for a person!

30 Minutes Walking and 20 Minutes with the Wii

I walked in the neighborhood this morning. It was pretty hot, but I survived! When I got home I tackled the Wii Fit again. I did a lot better this time.

30 Minutes on the Trainer and 30 Minutes of Wii

I rode my bike on the trainer and then had my first introduction to Wii Fit. I can;t believe how uncoordinated I am. I kept tripping on the balance board trying to do the step aerobics. Hopefully, I will find my balance.

One Hour of Hills

Tonight Patricia and I did hills in the parking garage. There was no breeze so it was very hot. To make matters worse, there were a number of wild kids driving like maniacs through the garage with their radios blaring, setting off the car alarms. Even though there were some challenges, we lasted an hour and had a good workout.

15 Minutes Swimming

I got to the Aquatic Center around 7:00am, just before the swim team arrived. The water was very cloudy and the pool was very dirty. I decided to get out after 15 minutes, with visions of the poopy duck lake. I'll give the center a rest, until the water clears.

6 Miles in the Heat

I debated about doing my long run as I felt pretty beat from yesterday's 5K. But this was the first weekend of my NY training, so I did it. It was very hot and I went very slowly. It took me 1:50 to do the 6 miles, but it's about the distance now and not the time. I'll pick up the pace after I get some rest!

Freedom 5K

Stan, Patricia and I did the Freedom 5K this morning. Stan was not too excited about a 3 mile walk that cut into his sleep time, but he did it! I was hoping to make this race a PR (personal record), but it didn't work out that way. My alternate goal was to finish in under 40 minutes and I did, just barely with a 39:17:1 time. Patricia wasn't pleased with her time of 31:39:4, but considering the weather and the fact that we both did a TRI last week, I think we did great. My training schedule has 6 to 8 miles for this weekend, so I will see if I can get in a long run tomorrow morning.
