I was watching Dr. Phil on Mon. with his weight loss people. They had a fitness challenge and I was blown away by the fact that people were walking miles in just over 10 and 11 min. This means a walking pace of close to 6 mph. I'd never been able to hold a walking stride at more than 4.5 mph after that I had to jog. Today I tried to WALK faster. I was able to maintain 5 mph, but it was very difficult for my legs, but so much easier on my lungs and heart. I'm hoping to continue and maybe as my legs grow stronger they will move faster. I know my legs are far stronger than they were even at the beginning of this month. I am now able to maintain 4 mph at a 6% incline. That's a 1/2 mile faster. I felt so good on there this morning I actually did 3 miles and felt like going more, but alas I have other things to do.
I see there are people reading my posts daily. I sure wish some of you would join me in logging your miles and talking about your progress!

April miles : 43.75

I'm feeling really bloaty and just plain yuck (TOM) so I'm going to be a big chicken and waite a week to weigh in. It's raining and cold here again today. Usually May is much better in WI than April so I'm glad it's the last day of April. My husband got my garden all tilled so I can be putting in seeds soon. I need to work in some fertilizer first though. I never put plants in until at least the 3rd week of May, but I've learned seeds can go in allready. I plan to do 3 miles on the TM again today. I'm adding them to my April miles allready that way I know I'll do them. That'll put me at 46.75 for them month. That is such a huge improvement for me. Posting here as always helped me do better than if no one is looking over my shoulder. Thanks for keeping me on track. I'm thinking of actually setting a goal for May. Hope you'll join me.
