My walks outside are longer than I thought

[honeymo78]

I've been walking around my neighborhood once or twice a week to break up my treadmill routine. I normally walk 1 mile or so on the treadmill so I figured that what I was walking in a similar amt of time outside. I finally drove my walk route and found out that it is a little over 2miles!!!! I can't beleive I've been doing that and feeling so great after it.

AWESOME!

You must be really distracted by the scenery outdoors (or else you just enjoy it alot!) :) So are you going to try adding some miles on the treadmill now that you've found out you have been secretly walking more outdoors? :) That is great news!!!!!!

I think I'll try getting to 2miles on the treadmill - it seems harder to walk that far on the treadmill. I also ordered the WATP tapes and I plan on doing the 2mile tape when I use it.

It really does seem to move faster outdoors- I agree 2 miles on the treadmill is tougher on your legs because you have a constant speed- when I walk outside I can stretch my stride out and walk faster/slower at will so it makes it much easier. You'll find the longer you walk outdoors the faster you can go on the treadmill. Keep up the GREAT WORK!!! Now- have you considered the 2005 1/2 walking marathon with the WISH team?? Maybe you've already signed up! :) You're well on your way to being a big LOSER!!
