Guest guest Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I just got back from a brisk walk. Well, it was almost a jog as fast as the dogs were going. The weather was perfect!!! I did weights this morning so my step count was REALLY low. I know I got a bad weekend of eating ahead so I wanted to get some good steps in. I started my fitbit and we headed out the door. It said I went 2.3 miles, burned 200 calories and went 3,108 steps. Is that very far in 30 minutes? All I know is I was walking really fast. I also wanted to walk in the neighborhood because I wanted to nib on a couple neighbors lol. There's a house that doesn't look like anyone lives in so I have to wonder if it got repossessed. The people that lived there had like 7 dogs and they were always getting out. They had some hoodlums for kids so, though I don't want anyone to loose their home, I'm crossing my fingers they abandoned the place and have moved away. That's happening a lot out here. Its a shame because they are beautiful homes. Another house down the way is having their house resided and I wanted to see what it looked like. Oh gosh, its gorgeous. Of course the guys doing it were typical worker guys that act like they've never seen a woman walking dogs before lol. They kept saying "hello". I was flattered! So I got to nib and get a second, kind of different workout in, so all is good!!! ´¨¨)) -:¦:-¸.·´ .·´¨¨))((¸¸.·´ ..·´ -:¦:- ~-:¦:- ((¸¸.·´* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Nice job! I think that's great for 30 minutes. A brisk walk for me is 4 miles/hr, so you were faster than that. Any faster than that pace, and I start doing run/walk segments. Walks are so much fun. You see all kinds of things that you miss when you're driving. You get a good feel for the neighborhood. There are so many foreclosed homes around here. It's sad, isn't it?I just got back from a brisk walk. Well, it was almost a jog as fast as the dogs were going. The weather was perfect!!!

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Yes, that is fast! I do 3 miles at lunch in about 50 minutes. I walk briskly, but not at an almost jog or power walk pace. WAY TO GO! I just love walking and being outside. The mental health benefits for me from this are priceless! Good job on upping the step count, Young Lady!! I just got back from a brisk walk.
