I started at point-seven MPH and want to stay there because it's nice to be able to forget about the walking while I work. I'm amazed that people go any faster... Dr. Levin from the Mayo Clinic had said point-seven in one of the videos, so I follo...

Sad News Regarding Our Pregnancy

My husband and I learned Friday that we had lost the baby we were so excited about bringing into the world. It has been a really trying weekend/week, but we can definitely feel the love, support, and prayers of our many friends and family members; and that has been a huge blessing in the midst of it. So, while taking time to grieve together and getting back into the swing of things at work after a few days away, my goals on the treadmill have been recalibrated and we are back at square one. Walk… Continue

5th day... up to about 4 miles today...

So, got my tread-desk gussied up, temporarily, of course, with duck tape (yes, Oregon ducks, so duck tape, not duct!) and its' working well. Thus far, my cat-who-must-sit-on-lap hasn't figured it out, though she was checking out the top of my computer today! (There is only 1" on the "top", being an iMac, not wide enough for her.)

Been adjusting shoes I wear, too, to save the knees, too. Thus far, the MBTS are pretty good for cushioning, since the treadmill isn't very soft at all. Thus far the m… Continue

Fourth Day 6.32 Miles

I spent quite a bit of time away from my desk yesterday, but still made 6.32 miles at 1mph.

Today was meeting day, so I'm only at 1.9 now and likely to make 4 or 5 miles by the end of day. It's getting more comfortable every day though. I'm glad I slowed down to enjoy it instead of pushing.

I'm not doing this entirely for weightloss, but it will be interesting to track along with the miles, so I'll weigh myself Saturday morning and see where I am.

Third Day, slowing down a bit.

I had an easy time walking yesterday, but recovery last night was a little rough. I felt great again this morning, but decided to back off to 1.0mph and a goal of 8 miles for the day. So far, that's going great with about 2.5 miles and 2.5 hours to go in my day.
