Okay, okay, a quarter of a mile, LOLOLOL!! I was too excited!!!

---

I RAN (I'm training to run) "twice" around the track [a quarter of a mile] without stopping during my lunch hour today! I power walked 2 miles (w/running, too) in 40 minutes!!! Wooohooo!!! Don't forget I stretch 5 minutes before and after my work out (Eva doing a jig!!) :happy: :happy: :happy:

Eva grabbing a calculator, too, teehee hee!! A quarter of a mile (.50) x 4 times around is 2 MILES...I HATE MATH :devil:

Blessings!

IMPRESSIVE!!! I am doing the Happy Dance for you.:laugh: Now, the hard part is settling down and ending the celebration so that you can get back to work.

Seriously though, Congratulations, that really is a great accomplishment.

Thanks LJ. Considering I'm NOT a runner! Mom told me when I was born I later contracted brochitis. No WONDER I couldn't play soccer w/the other kids in elementary! Yippie!!!!

Yeah, I know, back to the ol' salt mines :mad:

Blessings!

That's great!

But a quarter of a mile is .25...so 4 times around is 1 mile. :flowerforyou: That's how it is on every standard track.

3/4 of a mile is .75. So was the track 3/4 mile or 1/4 mile?

If it's 3/4 mile and you walked around it 4 times, that's 3 MILES. And since it took you 40 minutes to powerwalk and run around 4 times, I'm thinking you may have done 3 miles.

Because I'm really out of shape at 255# right now and I walked a mile in 17 minutes today on my lunch break and didn't even break a sweat. I normally walk 2 miles at lunch in 35 minutes. And I'm not powerwalkin'.

Congratulations Eva! Even running 1 mile is a start. Keep up the good work. I say if you're running, then you're a runner. :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

no matter then math way to go!!!

The track I use - is 1/4 mile per lap....it's the local college track and field teams track.
