    greatActive rest day 2 mi 00:30 15:00 pace

    I was planning to rest today but woke up stiff and achy so I got warm and stretched. I'm working today so I only had so much time but this pace felt sooooooo good, I could have gone on for hours.

      Nice walk Diana! Sometimes, I too enjoy that 15min pace:-)

      Great 2 extra miles to throw in for the week! Now that you're so fast, the slower pace feels easy peazy!

      Sometimes a nice easy pace is more beneficial than a crisp pace...good job Diana...:o)

    3 miles at 4.5 mph
    .25 at 4.0

    I wanted to add some time at the faster pace but found that my legs were toast! I then thought I'd add a whole 'nother mile at the slower pace but again - legs! toast!

      Well, I think this is a fantastic workout! Nice!

      You've been sizzling-fast every day for a week, Diana! Sometimes the fatigue creeps up on you. Take it easy for a bit and your speed will be back. :)

      Still a great pace Diana! And you have been pushing hard lately and your legs are letting you know it :)

    Was going for my usual three but my daughter suddenly informed me that she was going to be late for work if I didn't get off the treadmill immediately and drive her. It's a 10-minute walk, but she'd "lost track of time."

    What, do I sound ir... read more

      LOL! I remember when I used to spring stuff on my mom too! A mothers job is never done :) Great job on getting most of your workout in and great pace Diana!

      LOL @Jennifer! Diana, are you getting a bit hooked on this walking/running thing? ;)

      I really had to talk myself out of calling it done at 2 miles and it took a lot of self-talk to get all of me on board with the whole 3... and then to have it all blow up like that was disappointing. All that effort to pump myself up ~ wasted! :)

    This experiment has been really fun! At the end of the week, this pace feels actually pleasant, while at the beginning it was grueling. I'm already thinking next week to do some little interval and incline "pushes" just to make it more chal... read more

    • Alicyn H. Alicyn H.

      This is so awesome to hear! And I love that you are going to add in the incline! Next step is to start aiming for 10 mile walks. It feels so great when you can do one of those. Once it cools down I am going to work towards a 20 mile walk!

      Yes, thank you! There's just not much written (that I've found) for walkers, it's all meant for runners.

    Still holding onto this pace and feeling better and better every day. Tomorrow is a rest day, though, and I earned it!

    good3 mi 00:40 13:20 pace

    My experiment is going well! This pace, which used to be a stretch for me, is starting to feel almost normal. It's still a push for me, and it takes focus and iron will but it's less hateful with each day. :)

    Speaking of hateful, my internet is off m... read more

    This was tough mentally today but I counted off every achievement. You know what I mean. After the first 5 minutes, "You're 1/8 done!" and after the first half-mile, "Just do that 5 more times!" and then the 1/3 point, the 1/2 poi... read more
