Exercise: - What : "fast" walk
- Time: 27.4 minutes
- Distance: 1.6 miles
Did a fast walk today as well as walking around a mall. Bought a sweet new dress for a wedding and our 5 year anniversary dinner. I got it in size 16! I will try and post a pic later, it is very sweet.
During today's walk, I did almost exactly 17 minutes/mile. To complete the loop doing a 15 minute mile, I need to finish it in 24 minutes, so over 3 minutes quicker. Today I tried to follow the advice I have read on the internet, swing my arms front to back (no side to side motion), keep my head up, back straight, normal stride. I felt like I was walking fast, but it didn't hurt which was good.
Tomorrow we have a cookout. I am bringing most of my own food, but there will be devilishly good potatoe salad.
