Cool Bloggers Walking Club – Week 1

Elisabeth (she blogs at The Optimistic Musings of a Pessimist), is hosting The Cool Bloggers Walking Club. I’m joining in, trying to exercise almost every day this month.

So far this month I went on 3 walks or walk/runs. I can’t remember for sure, but I think Bruno went with me on all three. He loves running! He’s got a faster sprint than me, but also slows down more at the end. If we’re just walking, I’m definitely faster because I have far fewer things I need to stop and sniff.

There were a couple days I didn’t get out for a walk, but I was working doing physical things, like sanding and painting….so I was doing some moving.

Today I took my bike down to the post office to drop off this Chicago Bears hat that sold. My bike only has one gear…let’s just say West Texas doesn’t feel so flat on a one-geared bike!

Here’s my times with photos:

Thursday, Oct. 1

0.89 mile walk

20.54 min/mile

Bruno doesn’t do selfies very well.

Friday, Oct. 2

0.98 mile walk/run

15:01 min/mile

Do you have stickers where you live?

Sunday, Oct. 4

1.86 mi walk/run

14:33 min/mile

One of the best parts of walks is seeing the big beautiful sky!

Wednesday, Oct 7

3.28 biking

7.04 min/mile

I don’t have a picture of this bike ride, but here I am on my bike at the Maumelle campground.

And two days I was sanding cupboard doors, walls, and painting.

Note: I use runkeeper to track my exercise.
