Tonight's walk
Jul. 6th, 2009 10:55 pm3.2 miles in 49 minutes: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2978815 That's 5 min faster than today's goal, and faster than the other 2 3-mile walks this week, so I am generally feeling smug.
The timing comes out as 15.3 min/mile which is about half-way between my 17 mins of yesterday and my goal of 13 min/mile.
I got honked at once on the way back, and I'm afraid I responded with a rude gesture. That was the one flaw in an otherwise pleasant and endorphin-raising walk. I felt sufficiently confident to do "power-walk arms" for the last bit home, after I'd turned off the main road. It really does feel more powerful and faster, but I still feel a bit self-conscious about it off my home turf.
