Walked/Jogged Three 12 Minute Miles

I got my new walking dvd today. It allows you to walk up to 5 miles as a pace of a 12 minute mile. At the end of each mile there is a jog that really gets you moving. I did three miles today since the most I have done before was 2.5 miles. I liked it. I probably could have done the whole thing, but I want to pace myself. I will probably do 3 or 4 miles tomorrow and Thursday and then do the 5 miles on Friday.

Next week I will have 3 days of 5k training and the other days I will be doing the walking dvd. So, all walking/jogging all the time. It is quick way to exercise when you move fast and not a bad calorie burner either.

To get a little more of a boost I carried hand weights on mile 2 (she also has you do arm movements, so that added to the arm exercise).

I am a bit frustrated otherwise. I have no pepsi in the house. We are on a boil alert. I have already drank a pot of coffee. I am not sure what to do. I am thirsty and boiling water is the last thing I want to do. May head somewhere and buy something after my shower.
