How about a weekly recap?

Before I fill you in on my quick recap I must share these images from the the sunset this evening!

First, these pictures do it NO justice. Second, how can anyone look at all these marvelous colors and doubt in a magnificent, powerful God!

Ok, on to the real purpose of this Saturday night blog post. 

How was my week?

I got 8 walks in for a total of 19.5 miles! That may not seem like a lot to some, but for me that is pretty awesome. I have the added incentive of a step challenge at work. I have no idea what the prizes are and honestly, I don't care. That isn't what motivates me. I signed up so I would have to write down my steps each day and turn them in to someone. Regardless of how well I do compared to others, I don't want to turn in "lazy" numbers. I even got over 15,000 steps one day this week! That's a new fitbit record for me. Next week however will not quite be the same, I have to attend a two day meeting for work out of town, so I know I can count on lots of driving an sitting. But, I'll figure out next week when it gets here, as for this week I think I've done well. I'm not too worried about my pace each walk because the majority of my evening walks involve two large dogs who enjoy a more leisurely stroll. I try to get in a few longer walks a week without them, or go back for a little extra afterwards.

 I have also even been giving "jogging" a shot, I use the term loosely as its pace would easily be a fast walk for most. I nearly did a lap of jogging tonight without stopping. I think if it hadn't been for that amazing sunset I probably would have done it, however I did stop a couple of times to try to get a perfect shot, it was just changing so much with each passing minute I couldn't stop ooooing and awwing. I think this cooler weather will help a lot with this goal. Unfortunately along with this cooler weather comes shorter nights so I'm going to have to get a little more creative with when and how I get my walks in.

What did you do this week?
