5 miles. Mostly brisk walking but about 25% jogging. I have never liked jogging and don't know how people run long distances.
However, for some crazy reason I would like to do the Midnight Sun Run in Fairbanks the week of June 21. So am trying to slowly incorporate jogging into my walk.
I love walking...and it is not just about exercise. It's about being alone, smells, sounds, thought, prayers and feeling good.
Today, when I got to my little knoll a little over 2 miles...I like to sit and enjoy the scenery, read, etc., well I really noticed I just felt so good! I had done 50/50 jog/walk to that point. It was like my lungs were just filled with oxygen. So am going to continue doing this routine. Am not doing gym stuff as not accessible to me here...save that for home and cold weather.
