Future Fitness Challenge...

Okay I know I should not even be thinking about doing another Fitness Challenge since I have yet to complete my first challenge of walking from my apartment to Ocean Blvd.  But there is a Spinning Charity Event in February 2011.  Its 2 hours of spinning to benefit Ride 2 Recovery.  I definately want to do it!

I heart spinning and It would be something for me to strive towards.  I still struggle spinning for an hour!  So this will be my first challenge to complete in 2011.

Fitness Challenge 1 - Update

Good Morning!
Well I have good news & bad news!  I overslept again this morning so Fitness Challenge-1 has not yet been completed. 

The good news is I said I would walk down towards Ocean Blvd and see how far I can get before I need to be home to get ready for church.  So off I went..I left home at 6:50am.  At 7:35a I was at Cherry/Willow.  It took a few moments to take a few shots of the veiw from Signal Hill.  My cellphone camera sucks!  Next time I will have to take my real camera!  So after leaving Signal Hill, I said I would walk until 8am and then catch the  bus back home.  So at about 8:05 I got to Cherry/15th street and stopped my walk.  I waited there for the bus to come and take me away!  8:35am I am back home, drinking water and posting this on my blog!  Gotta love it!

From my house to Cherry/15th Street is about 3.5 miles.  And it took me about 1 hour & 15 minutes.  So I know I can make it down to Ocean Blvd.  Next weekend, I will try this again hoping to get up early enough to make it all the way down to Ocean Blvd.

Fitness Challenge - 1

Alrighty...believe it or not tomorrow is one month since I dedicated myself to this journey.  So I think It is time to challenge myself on a physical level. 

Tomorrow morning I am going to walk from my house down to Ocean Blvd in Long Beach.  Using Gmaps pedometer the route is a litte over 5 miles.  I have no intention of walking back home...I will get on the bus!  :0)  LOL!  Since I have been walking..the most I have done is 3 miles.  So adding an extra 2 miles will be a challenge.  And if you know where I live, it will have some uphill & downhill to the walk.  I am not concerned with how long it takes..it just want to get it done! 
Walking Route Home to Ocean Blvd via Cherry Blvd

So wish me luch I plan to hit the trails no later than 6am! 

What do you think?  For second month Fitness challenge..I will walk to Ocean and walk all the way back home.
