This may sound goofy, but how do I know how many calories I am burnig (estimated) by walking? I walked pretty fast on a high school track this morning, 1 mile. I guess about 3.5 or 4 miles an hour. I don't have a heart rate moniter yet, and I can't seem to figure it out on this site. Any ideas???

    I weigh about 150#, am 46 y/o F. I walk on my breaks at work for aprox 15-20 min. and I walk as fast as I can without making a spectacle of myself and I burn around 100 calories according to my HRM.
    I probably get about 1 mile m/l. I know on my TM I can get up to 5.6 mph walking but I don't know how accurate that is-just to give you and idea.
