I took a walk in the neighborhood today. It was a just over 2.7 miles and took 40 minutes to complete... which is just under 15 minutes per mile. Not terrible, but not super-duper fantastic either. I'll take it as a starting point from which I can improve. The goal is to someday be able to jog/run the entire path...
But I did reach another milestone/non-scale victory (NSV) today... I have always hated exercising in public. In my head, everyone is judging me and my size. I was dragged to a cycling class which was kind of fun (I went with a friend who provided extra support and encouragement), but I would shy away from exercising in the neighborhood for fear of what people are thinking... I know it's pretty dumb, right? So I was pretty proud of myself for just getting out there... :)
Unfortunately, the rain started up again midway through my walk. I was drenched before I was done...
Happy Wednesday! Stay dry!!!

Laura!!!! You're my inspiration!! The thought about not liking to work-out in public because people might be judging you is a very common thing, and that's something I think about as well. I just take my glasses off and feel like I'm the only one there. rabih
Congrats!! I think that everyone shares that worry on some level, and I think it's great you got out to take a nice walk. You'll have to tell me what path you take. Sorry you got rained on though! Riley isn't up for that long of a walk yet...I can usually get 20 minutes in before he gets bored.
