I feel like I need to share an accomplishment with a group that understands where I'm coming from. Yesterday, I walked 8.6 miles and kept at a 3 mph pace the entire distance! It was a big deal for me and I'm sure the farthest I've walked in 16 or more years. I've been walking 2 to 3 miles per day, but on Saturdays, I take it to 3-4, and on Sundays, I try to go for a longer walk.
I was pretty beat the rest of the day after the walk, but I felt so damn good accomplishing that. I don't think I'll do the same this next weekend, I'll probably keep it to 6 or under, but in a couple of weeks, I'll go for a new record.
I'm really getting to enjoy the walks, and I really think it has added a motivational element that I haven't had for some time. In about another week or so I plan to start a 9 week fitness challenge, nothing too intense, I know I'm not ready for really crushing it, but I'm going to have a plan to see where I am across a number of exercises in a certain amount of time, and then follow a regimin over 9 weeks and see how far I advance in time/pace/count after 9 weeks. I thought it would be good to have something to shoot for. I'll document it on my YouTube Channel.
