training (and inadvertantly skiing) update

So I'm still training for The Overnight... that crazy 20 mile walk I'm doing. http://www.theovernight.org/fundraising/yvette

It's going ok - I wouldn't say swimmingly but I'm not failing by anyone's definition even my own (and I'm my own harshest critic). I took a week off when I was working 13+ hr days and I haven't gone out on weekends due to skiing (yay!). I'm finding the gym to be a trying place to walk long distances unless there's good TV on. But it's Seattle and it's not nice out so I'm doing it there since boring is better than dark, wet and miserable. I can't wait for the days to dry out more regularly (and get longer) so I can do more walking outside. I definitely have some plans to walk to the local office (rather than driving to the further away office I actually work in) and to walk to the bus and do weekend farmers market walks (which I do all Spring-Fall anyways). I've definitely spent a lot of my weekend long-walk time skiing - but hey - the snow's been SUPERB! And that's cross training, right? ;) Except I think I want to mix up my weekday routine to have a bit more cross training there rather than always straight up walking.
