I just hope to make my daily goal of walking the
neighborhood street twice a day. That would be a total
of three miles. It is hilly, so I have been told to
count two points for each mile and a half.

I made that neighborhood round twice yesterday, but I
had no need for a jacket or long pants. We are defi-
nitely in the midst of summertime weather here.

Well, guess what I discovered this morning. The route I have been walking all along thinking I was walking 4 miles is actually 4.8 miles!! I had been told by a few people that I should be able to walk 15 minute miles to get a good workout. It was taking me much longer than 1 hr. to get in 4 miles. I kept trying and trying but couldn't hit it. So today my walking partner and I decided to drive it. It was actually 4.8.

Well, I have certainly gotten in my walking today,
even more than the three miles which is usually my
goal. Once I got started, I just kept walking. :) It
helps to have someone else walking along, too.

Uki, that is still really good! I got in a 4 mile walk this morning. The temps were in the 50's, but I warmed up pretty quickly once I got started walking.

Wasn't it a nice surprise Cheryle to find out how much more you are walking? You are all doing great.
I went to the gym and lifted weights and did a 45 min aerobics class in the water. Think I'll walk with DH tomorrow if its not raining. I guess I'm a fair weather walker. He walks no matter what the weather all year.

Yes, Pat, it was quite surprising. My DH is like yours. He is a runner and he runs no matter what the weather all year round. I know I won't be out there walking once the weather gets colder. I'll have to look for an alternative. I'm a wimp, I guess.
Re: Exercise Accountability Post for the Week of 6-15-08
Right now my goal is to just walk everyday.My daughter and I walked a total of 6 miles today!I'm sure I will be sore tomorrow.I would be happy to get 1-3 miles in a day. P.S. What is a DH?I've read reference to someones DH,but don't know what it means.
Re: Exercise Accountability Post for the Week of 6-15-08
3 mile walk today. Went with DH (dear, darling, d*mn-depending on my mood-husband) and neighbor. We were all talking and before I knew it we were 1 1/2 miles from home. I turned around and they kept walking for another mile or so. That is my longest walk this year. Guess I'll have to try the 3 1/2 mile block with them some morning.
Re: Exercise Accountability Post for the Week of 6-15-08
3 mile walk yesterday. Today 2 miles walked in the pool. Started to do the weights but there were so many people there that I decided to go back tomorrow.
Uki- hope things are better with you and your family.
