I walked and jogged four times during the week. The temperature was in the high 20s (F) and the very low 30s.
Today I went for 1.02 miles, and the temperature was in the high 20s. I walked most of the distance but jogged for about 1/3 mile in the middle of the distance.
The total distance was slightly more than an increase of 10%.
The running & walking experiences of an 86 year old man. I used to run and walk alone, but now I walk with my wife, although I sometimes go walking alone. My overall goal is to reach age 100 and still be walking for my long and medium walks. I enjoy my walks, especially those with my wife, although I miss going long distance.

Decided to do weekly updates to this blog, instead of daily updates
From now on I will just be doing weekly updates. I decided on this because my walks are mundane with nothing special happening.
My weekly schedule is as follows:
Monday -- Rest walk of 0.40 miles
Tuesday -- Rest walk of 0.40 miles
Wednesday -- Medium walk of 0.62 miles
Thursday -- Rest walk of 0.40 miles
Saturday -- Long walk of 0.85 miles
As I get stronger and used to the distance, I will add a bit to the medium and long walks. Eventually, I will start jogging during part of my walks, using 80 seconds walking or jogging, and 60 seconds of walking. This combination will be used for the whole distance for that day.

Did a 0.40 rest walk
Judy and I went out this morning and walked to the corner and back for 0.40 miles. The temperature was about 35 (F). Snow is on the lawns, but the sidewalk is clear of snow and ice.
