Map My Fitness

I recently discovered www.mapmyfitness.com - which is a google-based site that allows you to map out your runs/walks and tells you the total mileage. You can save your routes if you register on the site. Pretty helpful!

14-miles = 4.5 hours

14-miles is my longest walk so far. For those of you familiar with the Minneapolis lakes, that's about 2 laps around Lake of the Isles, 2 laps around Lake Harriet, and once around Lake Calhoun. There are many interesting things to be seen around the lakes. My favorite so far has been the man that bicycles with his cat perched on his back.

We had a big weekend. First was the Saturday evening wedding of Sara and Bryan. It was a beautiful event, complete with a great view of the Minneapolis Aquatennial Fireworks. Sunday we headed to Fairchild WI to visit our puppies breeder. Here are a couple photos of the litter, one of the girls will be coming home with us in four weeks!

30%!!!!!

I'm excited to tell you that I have reached 30% of my fundraising goal! I still have a long way to go, but this is a fun milestone to celebrate!

9 weeks to go!

The 3-Day is only 9 weeks away! Last week, I logged another 29-miles walking and 16-miles biking. I must say, my legs are definitely feeling it! But the weather has been great and it's just been fun to be spending so much time outside.

Last weekend, I ran into two other groups out training for the 3-Day - it was so much fun to see other people out there! Since this is my first event, I have no idea how many people are participating in the Twin Cities. I can't even imagine how it will feel.

Also, I have a puppy update! Our little puppy, Murphy, will be coming home with us in just 4 weeks! Here is a photo of the litter, we can't wait to find out which little one is ours!

First 10-mile walk

Hi everyone! Last weekend I completed my first 10-mile walk, and it was great. The first question everyone asks - "how long does it take?" Well, it took me about 2-1/2 hours for that walk. So far, I think I've logged just under 100 miles in training.

Also, good news! Three co-workers have joined the team, so we now have a goal to raise at least $10,000 as a company! I'm very exited about this and hope to recruit even more walkers. We will have some fun fundraising events coming soon.
