Did my first 20k walk today, took me 3 3/4 hours and included a few small hills (usually I walk 5-10k, flat surface). I am really tired, but it was an enjoyable walk. Gearing up for hiking season!

When I am in school I don't walk, but I do on Fridays & Saturdays! I will join you on those days and work on improving my time. Right now I walk for about 41 minutes and average 3.2-3.25 miles. My goal is to consistently reach walking at 5 mph!!

We are out of class today so I walked!

04/01: 3.3 miles 41:11

Did another 20k today, but barely made 5k yesterday (Maybe even 3-4k). Going out again today to spend time walking with my mom (she can't handle as much long walks so I go separately in the morning)

Got my bodymedia fit band running, I've taken 24500 steps during my first walk of the day. The band is great it tracks my steps, calories burned, minutes of activity, heartrate, mets, and minutes of sleep vs. minutes lying down (sleep efficiency test). You wear the thing around your upper arm and it beeps when you hit targets that you have set. I love it.

Barely made 5 k yesterday. Still sore from wednesdays 20k walk. Might not make 5 k today but will make at least 10-15 on hills tomorrow.

I didn't walk yesterday as I had to go to school to do some work, but I did this morning!

04/01: 3.3 miles 41:11
04/06: 3.22 miles 41:13 Not as fast as Monday, but still good!

Did 10k hills today so probably just a short walk tomorrow to recover.

First day at the mountains (although it was the easiest trail I know) planning to ramp it up over the next 2 months.

Awesome sluggerbean, join us whenever you are able!

Yesterday I did absolutely no excercise, but was resting up for today when I walked 25k. Took me 5 hours, and included some small hills.

Going for another 1hr walk tonight with my mom, active recovery rules!

I took Sat completely off, to prep for Sunday and to get my lungs as happy as I could. Yesterday was a half marathon. Today was recovery, but I did walk about 2 miles. Only 19 more days until my next half marathon. I probably will just walk tomorrow. I've got a 5k on Sat, so I need to get 1-2 easy runs in this week.

Awesome Nicole! You are an inspiration!

Wish I could run, but can only walk and hike because of my bad knees.

Walked 8k real slow today, sort of a rest day, and tomorrow will be another rest day so I can go big on Thursday.

[kayin]

Well today was Thursday, tried to go big, but came up short when my knee started hurting. Oh well, I'll just ramp up a bit slower. Did manage to walk 8k hills though. I'm happy with that. It's only my second time this season on tougher hills (mountain instead of road I mean).

I did my first walk-jog today!!

I started with my usual walking pace for 5 minutes; then I did intervals of jog 1 minute, walk 2 minutes; then my usual walking pace for 5 minutes.

04/01: 3.3 miles 41:11
04/06: 3.22 miles 41:13 Not as fast as Monday, but still good!
04/12: 3.41 miles 40:34

[sluggerbean]

Second walk-jog! Tomorrow is a rest day and then I have class Monday-Thursday so I will be back next Friday.
