I went out for six days this week. I don't normally go out on Sunday, because that day is my Sabbath day. However, we had my son and his family over for Father's Day dinner, and they wanted to go for a walk after the dinner. So, I went up to the corner and back, while the rest of the family went around the block. I could have gone farther, but I felt tired and went home after reaching the corner.
I am going faster but I'm getting more tired than when I went slower. I don't intentionally increase my speed. My body automatically adjusts my speed according to how my body feels. I just jog and walk at a comfortable pace and let my body adjust the speed accordingly.
On Saturday, I went to the tunnel under 106 South, for a total distance of 2.0 miles. Judy went to the bench south of the 106th tunnel, for a total distance of 2.6 miles.
I'm carrying two bottles of water on my Wednesday and Saturday outings, and I take one swallow each time I walk. I get about 1 mile per bottle this way. Wednesday is my medium outing of about 1.75 miles, and Saturday is my long outing of about 2.0 miles.
Even though I'm going faster, my wife, Judy, still walks faster than I jog.
