Today was much better for me...results wise anyway.
With my FitBit I can see that my pace is finally leveling out. Starting to less like a bar graph :0)
I guess the trick for me is to focus on relaxing while I'm walking and not concentrate about speed.
I do much better this way.

BTW: How is everyone planning to incorporate weight while next week?
I have tendonitis in my wrists and bad ankles so I'm looking for something other than wrist/ankle weights.

    I did my 2 miles today. I REALLY didn't want to, and considered only putting in 1mile but figured it wouldn't take that much longer to do the 2nd mile, so why cheat myself. Next week, I have a weighted 2lb belt that I plan to use for my walks. So glad I pushed myself today. Keep going everyone!

    I have to walk tomorrow since I blew off Thursday. Other than that, doing OK. Usually doing my 3 miles in 2 segments because my dogs can't walk entire 3 miles in this heat. So I am doing about 1/2 outside in the morning with dogs and half on treadmill later in the day. I will use ankle weights next week. maybe get some extra tone in my legs that way.
