Shuffle your feet, lose your seat.

Or, in this case, your butt.




I hate to admit it, but I was inspired by Holly and her semi-recent marathon addiction, so I have signed up to do the Kaiser 5 Miler walk that precedes the Portland Marathon on October 5, 2008. In preparation for the event, I have roped in CamiKaos and some other brave souls to join me.

I've been trying to exercise more and plan on doing a 3 mile walk this weekend in Vancouver (while my husband studies for a test). I need to get some new sneakers and need to figure out how to carry snacks with me to counteract possible insulin reactions, but I am ready.

I've also been using Traineo (hat tip: Steven) to log my weight and exercise activity. (They have pretty graphs.)

If you want to join us for the walk: follow this information.

Thanks for the mention. =)

After I got back from my trip I got my bookings for the next month and a half. We're not going to be able to make the Portland Marathon. *facedesk*

I have this week home before I leave again. Let's plan on some lunch for the Great Puppet Exchange of 2008. I'm sure I can drag Ivy away from work around the noon hour.

hmmm, pretty graphs? That's the only appealing part of training, but it might be enough.

steven: Like I said to you before, we don't need you! Just Ivy!!! :)

donpdonp: Yeah, I know how you roll when you do a organized march. It's ok with me if you sit this one out. :)

deb: I'm a sucker for any pretty graph I don't have to make myself.

holly: Stop abusing your machine and start abusing something else.
