5.67 miles walked today
46.41 miles walked to date0 -
Today I did:
AM: 1 Mile Central Park Walk and Walk It Off in 30 - Firm (standing strength training portion with 10 & 20 lbs weights)
PM: 2.5 brisk outdoor miles
Total Miles: 35.75
I'm in a bind because in the evenings I walk with my partner. He is not super overweight - working on losing maybe 25 lbs., but I am in much better shape than he is and he has some old athletic injuries. I really enjoy our walks because we bond and I inspire him (he calls me coach haha). The thing is I want to walk faster and longer, but I know he couldn't keep up with me right now.
I'm going to continue to go at his pace however. When I think back to all of those years when I was trying to keep up with him and he never left me in a cloud of dust so I why should I do that to him now.
I'm very thankful to be in great shape and health and working hard everyday to keep going. When I have time to go alone I will go whenever I can. 0 -

^^That is love. Good job.0 -
I think it is safe to say I am not going to hit my goal of 20 miles this month. I am hoping by next week to feel up to getting up early and doing 1 mile a day. I am not as fatigued and exhausted as last week, but I am still not 100%.
My goal for the rest of April is no longer 20 miles, but as many miles as I can. I'll keep you posted.
I do absolutely love reading what everyone is doing! Some amazing rock stars on here that totally motivate!!!0 -
Thursday:
4 miles: Walk Slim 4 Fast Miles.
0 miles: walking outdoors
Goal for March: ? miles, An increased emphasis on strength will change my usual mileage.
So far: 21 Leslie/ or other walking DVD miles
So far: 0 outdoor miles
Tuesday & Wednesday I did extra deep cleaning/ moving furniture and yard work so I didn't 'walk' for exercise :happy: .
Take care and keep walking strong!!
