6 miles

I was wonder,if any of yall walk/run often.If so how long?


Today I made a goal to walk 6mi every day.
I already walked 6mi today,could of went longer but I didnt have good shoes.
I'm hoping to be able to walk/run 1 mile in 7 minutes by end of summer.
I know my cousin runs bout 3 mi every day and does it about the time or less.

Having been a runner for 13 years, I can tell you the walking is much easier on your body, in the long run, so to speak. The pounding finally hammered my ankle to the point I had to stop. Believe me, the running is addictive to some people. Walking 6 miles at a good clip will do you almost the same good. When you get to a point you can keep up the pace, try carrying 2 or 2.5 pounds in each hand. Any exercise you get will be beneficial. Keep up the workout!

6 miles!?! Even if I could last that long, I don't think I'd have the time. If you can, that's awesome.

I do walk at lunch now that our Wisconsin weather has improved a bit. I walk with a girl from the office who walks really fast and she keeps me motivated (especially if she's walking in front of me) I think we only get in about 2 miles or so.

I'd like to start walking around town at night, too.

I can waddle from the couch to the refrigerator...and back again! That's a good day's exercise for me! Actually, I don't have time for any exercise regimen, but I'm fairly active in my work and walk quite a bit around the job site, then come home and split firewood. THAT gets the blood pumping! -TD

I figured I needed to get back into the gym for the summer. My work involves lots of working and running outside, so I lose weight in the summer - fat. I'm about 225 right now, and will be about 195-200 in like a month and a half from work, so if I get built back up like I was in High school (amazing what a year can do, or lose) it'll be pretty nice.

I started running and working out again 3 weeks ago after being lazy and gaining weight for a year. The 1st week or so was a little painful,but I am up to 2 miles now and have lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks,with about 30 more to go hopefully

I hear ya, i took a year off from lifting after i realized my college didn't have football, nothing to really work for, then i realized how out of shape i was, how lazy i was, and how much weight i had gained. My roomie and i started going yesterday, went today, and i'm really feeling the effects of it, i can't touch my nose, lol. I weighed 240 when i left HS, not a lot of fat, just a little belly, but there was a good amount of muscle there, now i'm growing bigger and am about 250-255, when i went to get into some of my shorts, i realized they were getting tight and was like, ok, time to lose some of this weight, but the thing is, last time i ddin't lift for a while, i got it all back pretty quick, i hope i can do the same with this, I mean, I haven't been extremely bad off, I still have been walking about 1.5 miles a day, on and off of campus. But this feels so good to go run and lift again, I don't know why i stopped.
