Thanks Mal, and your time will improve - I started out easily doing 20 minute miles.

Ahem...yes, it's sunny - but it's WINDY and I live at the base of mountain/canyon so it is windier here then other locations AAANDDD when you're the WLF WW, 41 degrees IS cold.

:p
 
We were supposed to get a major storm and we didn't so I can go out and enjoy the lack of weather today myself. Just popping in so I can say Hi and see how you're doing.
 
it's above freezing :D we had that weather last week and i was complaining that it was too warm :D

wacky weather -it's the end of the world i tell ya :D
 
FINE!
I'm going - I've got two layers of bottoms, three layers on top AND gloves...

Be back in a bit.
grumble...grumble...
;)
 
FWIW, my endurance took a long time to build in this walking thing - a speed demon I'm not. Consistency has been my best asset. I just hate losing the momentum.

An 11.79 is like a wind sprint to me. I don't think I even jogged a time like that back in High School when we were required to be tested on one mile runs annually. I use to hide behind a tree and count the laps the leader did and jumped in the middle of the pack on the last lap.

Funny how the teach always said "you hardly broke a sweat Randy" :cool:

holy schmoly. did you get ticketed for speeding? j/k

I wish walking where an option here but right now its likley to lead to a broken hip. We had snow then one day we had rain, then more snow...so now instead of roads we have ice slides. and our sidewalks are under about 7 feet of concrete hard snow burms. Wanna visit? just kidding again.

Hope your day is a good one!

Oh you and your weather. The past few days, I've been lucky I don't come back with icicles hanging out of my nose, no matter how fast I'm going!
I suppose I shouldn't complain nonetheless. When winter weather doesn't start until almost the middle of January, it's something to be grateful for.

Thanks Iwan :) I simply couldn't imagine your weather - it's not even in my realm of imaginings and "what ifs" LOL! It's 62 degrees in my house, my hands and feet are now frozen and I just turned on the heater! How do you ever get, let alone STAY warm???

I'm not sure Mal, but I'm thinking if it is, they would have to walk WAY faster then I do! LOL!

Oh, I hear you about the icicles hanging from the nose - who knew sniveling came with walking!?

Ok you are my new Idol! One day I will work my way up to walking your speed!

Go speedy Go!

Thanks MoonGoddess :) I started out with 20 minute miles too - but I have this overly competitive personality. Combine that with an Iron Man watch that has a lap counter, I am obsessive when it comes to bettering my time ;)
 
Racewalking is indeed a sport -

20K is the main event which is just about 13 miles - top speed is 1:24:50 for women...

Ok so maybe you have to pick up the pace a little bit :D but dang you could kick ass on the US women's team :D



1:31:51 is their best time :D
 
Pick up the pace a bit??? They're speed walking a 6.5 minute mile!!! OMG! That's hard core runnning for me, all out for 13 miles. I'm sure I'd puke before I got 30 minutes into it LOL!

The fastest I've been able to walk is a 10 minute mile, with no jogging - and that might have been down hill with a wind at my back ;) When I throw jogging in, I can get an 8 minute mile, but never have I jogged a full mile at a time - it's a walk/jog combo.

And thanks for that link Mal - it is FABULOUS!
 
First let me say, I love the way you 'reply' to people by quoting there posts. I'm going to adopt that journal technique.

10 min/mile! WoW! I'm proud of myself for doing a mile in 20! You started off as a 20 min walker, got any suggestions for us slow walkers?!?
