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!!
