Miles!

I must brag about today or I mean blog!  What a beautiful day!  Thanks to my wonderful husband I walked by myself for 6.6 miles today!  YES!!!!  It felt good!  The only problem I have noticed is I wanted to eat all day long after that walk!  I added my Nike + mini me on this site.  This can keep you up-to-date on my walks!  It says running- but I walk! I do have my average down to around 14:06 - 14:28 per mile, but my total average still says 18! 

The company I work for really pushes physical fitness.  They offer individual memberships to your local YMCA and give out ipods with Nike+ shoes.  For every 400 miles you log on Nike + you earn a new pair of shoes (limited to one pair each year).  They also offer challenges on Nike + as well.  I recently participated in a Mars vs. Venus challenge (aka Men vs. Women). The Women won!  You earn little trophies on the site for your winning challenges.  I was impressed, I think I finished 15th in the whole challenge.  Not too bad for just starting!

Last week I averaged 10.81 miles in 3 days of walking.  I hope for more this week!  The 6.6 miles today should help, but the weather will not be in my favor the rest of the week.

  1. Great Job, Belynda! It sounds like you have found a way to keep walking. Just think at 6.6 miles that is half way to a 1/2 marathon. You are doing great. Have a great week.
