For the last 2 days I have been trying to find this new 5+ mile route that I graphed on sparkpeople a few days ago. It was my plan to do this walk for the last 2 days, but yesterday I got lost, and today, I realized there was a wall where there wasn't on the map, and that somehow took a 1/2 mile off of my route. *shrugs*
I passed 5 garage sales today. I thought that was pretty funny...it's one of those I don't know why I swallowed a fly type things--which is a TOTAL inside joke to myself lol. These people are selling junk WAAAY overpriced. Some guy was selling an old Radio Flyer wagon for $20 because he just bought spray paint for it and that cost him $10. Another lady was selling stuff that looked like she had picked it straight out of someone's garbage (lots of forclosure homes in this area--I see trucks driving up and down the street often picking stuff out of the garbage of these homes).
Anyway, I walked 4.7 miles in 86 minutes--including my cool down which is always about 10 minutes of deep stretching and such-- and burned 989 calories. It's very overcast out today and it isn't even 87 degrees out yet (that's really nice for 10:30 in the morning).
Off to take a shower. Tomorrow will probably be a (non)rest day because I work. I won't be blogging until after work probably.
Make today count! Walk from garage sale to garage sale, and I'm sure you'll burn off a lot of calories doing that, and from laughing at the junk poeple are trying to sell...PLUS your brain will be distracted by all of the stuff to look at that it won't even seem like exercise!
I can do this. I am a star.

ha ha that's funny about the garage sales. at least you didn't have to worry about spending any money today, just calories! hope you can slip into a groove at work tomorrow. xo
TY Loree :). Have a great weekend! thanks for all of your support!
I have always figured that people who get great things at garage sales don't get them at the garage sales I see...I'm right there with you in the scratching my head category. Glad you got out there and got it done...
