I am a Fartleker

Good morning!

Indeed, you read that right.  I Am A Fartleker.  Let me explain...  this morning I kicked my walk up a notch by increasing the number of times I broke into a light jog.  Every once in awhile, whenever I felt like it, I would pick two landmarks and jog between them.  For example, I would start jogging at the next mailbox down to the stop sign.  It was actually kind of fun!  So this morning I walked/jogged a whopping 95 minutes - yay me!

As I was entering the last half hour of my walk, I ran into none other than MY MOM.  It was so funny - she was walking down the street toward me, but didn't realize it was me.  Actually, I didn't recognize her at first either - I thought she was my friend CC, who is around my age.  Let me tell you, my Mom is looking AMAZING!

Bowling last night was fun.  My best score was a 148 (3rd string).  Hopefully I'll get my average above last year's, which was 133.  It's nice to have other goals outside of weight loss.

Still no battery in my scale - I'm debating whether or not to change it so I can weigh in tomorrow morning.  We'll see...

Have a wonderful day, everyone!

Congrats

on being a Fartleker!!  :)  You're doing awesome.  I, too, am totally inspired by the Biggest Loser.  I can't believe the torture they go through.  I am so inspired and envious that they have free personal trainers to beat them into shape!! ;)

Glad you are enjoying that!  Sounds fun too!

Awesome about your mother! 

Glad you enjoyed your bowling too!

You go!!

That does sound like fun! You and your mom are doing a great job!

I knew it!!

Fartleking is fun!!!  I really enjoy it.  Doing things at your own pace makes the workout greater.  Proud of you - 95 mins!!!!!

That is awesome the fact that you mistook your Mom for a friend your age.  tell here I said the best is yet to come!!

OK......I bent over this morning and realized that I was a crack up!!!  LOL  (crack point up)....maybe not as funny as your comment, but, all I could come up with.

Have a very blessed day.  I am truly proud of you for trying the fartlek.   Chargail
