The Training Schedule

Only 64 weeks to go now.

Training so far:

Week 0 (3/30-6/5) (LC: 10.5; DC: 6; MC: 12)
6 mile round trip hike via the top of Squak Mountain. (LC, DC, MC)
3 round trip walks to the bus stop (each total 1.5 miles) (LC both ways, KC/MC one way)
1 4 mile walk home from school (MC)

Week 1 (4/6-4/12) (LC: 13.3; DC: 2.8; MC: 10.5)
4/6: 2.8 mile brisk walk around Green Lake (LC, DC)
4/8: 4 mile round trip to Starbucks at Redmond Ridge (LC, MC)
4/11: 6.5 mile to Starbucks at Redmond Ridge (back the long way) (LC, MC)

The Coast to Coast requires an average of 14 miles a day. They say you're probably ready if you can feel OK doing two 10 mile days back to back. Hope to achieve that mid-summer. Between now and then:

GOAL--miles per week:
6 miles a week in April with bonus points for 8 miles.
10 miles in May with at least one 6 mile walk
15 miles in June with at least one 10 mile walk
20 miles in July made up of two 10 mile walks
30 miles in August with at least one 10 mile walk

That feels far enough out to be useful.
