I had done that same walk back in July, and it took 90 minutes!
Wow--that's a 25-minute reduction in total time in 3 months! Whoo hoo!
I've signed up for another 5K walk taking place on 11/2/13. That's why I wanted to do this little test again. If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you already know that I did my first 5K walk, put on by the "Biggest Loser" organization, back in July 2013. That was about 2 weeks before I decided to get my act together and try to get healthier.
Walking to Mom's one time the weekend before the July walk was pretty much all the training I did for that first one, believe it or not. And the night before the walk, using the excuse that I needed to "carbo load", I actually ATE AN ENTIRE PINT OF BEN & JERRY'S! Sheesh. I knew it was stupid; but I wanted to do it, so I did. Lucky I was able to drag myself around Killington Mountain for 3.2 miles after that.
That also helps explain why I look like a small buffalo in the photos from that walk. :-) See my blog posts from August for those photos.
