Last night, when Mike and I discussed our workout today, we decided to do a fast walk without intervals and increase our distance to 1.5 miles (6 laps). But I was so inspired by Cat walking 2 miles yesterday, I wanted to match her. Mike had to take the pets to the vet after work and when he got home it was starting to rain. Mike is anti-wet so I knew he wouldn't want to walk in the rain, but I had been looking forward to this walk all day and I wasn't going to let a few drops stand in my way. I went by myself and really enjoyed it. There were kids playing baseball in the field next to the track, some other people walking and some small children playing in the middle of the track and some kids getting coached on hurdle jumping. Lots of things to watch while letting my mind wander on its own. Today was a really good walk. When I finished my 6 laps, I thought to myself "I could go home now," but then I remembered how VJ walked 9 hours mostly alone last weekend and I kept chugging along.
Time to pack for my weekend trip to my mom's house. I will check back in on Monday. have a great weekend!
