My VERY FIRST NSV!

lamoursuffit

So I've been taking my dog 3 times a week for walks that I try to make last 20-30 minutes. The first time I lasted 20 minutes, the second time, 25, and then the third was also 25. However, I only traveled about 0.6 miles round trip the first time, and just barely 0.8 miles the third. Today, I took her a different way, and I lasted 30 minutes, AND I went 1.2 miles! I know it's not great, but the fact I went over a mile before I really started to get tired is a major victory for me! I can never do that on a treadmill, and I think the fact that the weather is gorgeous and my puppy was with me made it easier. She was more tired than I was, had to carry her at one point! :laugh:

Anyway, I thought I would share it, because it's a big thing (for me) and I've only been at it a week and a half or so.

I totally know the feeling! When I started out I could only walk for 15 mins. Slowly I've gotten up to an hour but it took time (3 months) Walking with the dog helps, for sure.
Keep at it!
