Now Viewing: Chariots of Fire
I signed up for a 5K walk next weekend. My company was paying the entry fee and I knew there was a free tee-shirt involved so…of course…how could I say no?
So this morning I went to the gym and decided to figure out how long it would actually take me to walk 3.1 miles. What I found out: a HELL OF A LONG TIME!!! I was going about 3.5 mph the entire time and it took me 55 minutes. That figures out to be about 18 minute miles. But I know I’m not going to be able to keep up the 3.5 mph pace the entire time, and anyway, I’m walking with a girl from the office who chain smokes. At least I hope she’s not in better shape than me. I don’t want to get lapped by a person with a pack of Marlboros rolled up in her shirt sleeve.
The goal the rest of the week; get my time down. I have a whole week. I figure I’ll be doing 9 minute miles by the end of the week.
Yes, and I’ll be doing it in spandex and high heel sneakers!
