Hi,
I have been walking daily since March when the stay at home went into effect but have never participated in the virtual walking...don't know why since I usually I have something to say on some topic.
So let's both start and, by the way, 45 minutes on the treadmill is excellent .
I walk 6 or 7 days a week about 2.5 miles. Started back to 3 gym classes a week when they reopened
My usual time was 7:30 but now, living in Florida, the heat and humidity has ramped up significantly .
Now I hit the pavement at or before 7 am. I'm already sweaty on the way back but have gotten into such a habit that I still drag myself out. Taking me longer in the humidity and my time has increased from 40 to 50 minutes. Some hot days I m literally just putting one foot in front of the other on the way back.
In pre Covid times I would hop in the car and use the gym's treadmill and other machines . Except for gym classes I still leary of being near other sweaty people. We have marked off places in the gym room.
Met some new people over the past few months and noticed how many Amazon boxes were on the trash lol.
Will try to participate more because this is such a great
thread.
FL Mary where masks are now mandatory inside businesses in most counties..just today in my country...happy about that
@athoub Welcome to connect NO its not to late we seem to just go on and on . we love out group as while walking we enjoy the birds or flowers and take pictures if we see something interesting and share on here so we are all interested in where and what we see on out walks. Some of us set goals like our leader Becky is walking to somewhere in Colorado so we figure how many miles we do each day some more then others. Our fearless leader is @becsbuddy she can give you some ideas . Some listen to music on there route See you on the virtual trail

@athoub. Of course it's not too late. Some days I am not motivated to walk but once I am out of the house, I feel better. Walking on a treadmill is good too. The idea is to keep moving!
