Wow, I can't believe I haven't updated since Apr 6. My life has changed so much since then. My fitness has been an ever-changing combo of running (mostly Saturday runs in the park), biking (for 2 weeks in mid-May), YMCA boxing, and essentially sneaking into personal training sessions. A few abdominal sessions in there, but not enough to call it a true habit. Here's what I can remember of my life:

Tues, May 15: 24 mi bike on Trace, 17 minute abs (form really deteriorated after 10 minutes), then last 40 minutes of C's bootcamp
Wed, May 16: rest
Thurs, May 17: 9 mi run in the parks: intended only a 2.5 mi blue loop to recover from Tues, but the signs egged me on.
They said: Candy Cane Connector Trail: 1 mile.
Me: Yeah!
Signs: Red Trail: 4.5 mile Loop.
Me: Sure!
Then I had to get back to the car, via Candy Cane. 

Fri, May 18: 6 mile run (to the top of Morton Mill & back)
Sat, May 19: 4 mile run, I forget where... must be the Park, though.
Sun, May 20: 20 mile bike: from Bellevue to Downtown Nashville, look around the neighborhoods, and then back as far as the Hwy 70/100 jxn
Mon a.m., May 21: run to YMCA, 10 min abs, rough circuit of lunges, Hindu squats+pushups (I feel silly doing it when nobody tells me to... ?), burpees, wall touches (jumping)
Mon p.m., May 21 - Wed, May 23: rest, driving from BNA --> SNA
Thurs, May 24: rest, ~10 miles biking to various mechanics
Fri, May 25: rest (fly to PDX)
Sat, May 26: 10 mile run: 5 miles to Nature center, walk for 1.5 miles, run 5 miles back.

The incredible journey starts June 1, and I hope I don't freak the frick out. It's been an emotionally wrenching week, so I feel like I should be extra diligent in my preparation, lest important things sneak away from me...
