Well, I’ve not been sticking too well to the WW Walking Challenge schedule. I’ve been walking on each of the days in the schedule, but I’ve generally been walking a bit farther and a bit faster than called for each day. I want to be ready for the 5k in November, so I need to cover a little more ground that it’s calling for each day.

Yesterday, the schedule called for a 1/2 mile walk in 12 minutes. I started out planning to do that because I’d had a VERY long day already, but it just seemed really slow to me. So, I decided to just walk at a reasonable and comfortable pace instead of worrying about the suggested pace. I had actually just gotten into an almost zen/meditative state as I was walking that I completely lost track of the time I’’d been walking until I heard the Disneyland fireworks start going off. I ended up walking 1.3 miles in 25:23.

I’’ve also definitely have an increased awareness of moving more during the day thanks to wearing the pedometer. I got in just over 7000 steps yesterday, so I’m inching ever closer to that 10k steps goal. Saturday was the closest I’’ve come so far. I got in over 8k steps that day, but I was up and moving about a lot longer than normal due to a party that went until around 2am.
