Friday’s Walk
This evening was the first power walk with the 1 lb. dumbbells. It was done in 20:03. I had a good time at the half mile, 9:58, but ran out of gas in the last half. Still my time wasn’t bad. The next immediate goal is to get under 19 min. I’m pleased with my progress to date.
The light dumbbells add a new element. It will give some extra upper body work and burn some more calories. I think I could have got a 2 lb. set instead, but I’ll use these for a week or two and then increase. I feel alright now, but I might have some minor soreness in the morning. Twenty minutes of a continuous motion with a weight, even a light one, worked the muscles more than what no weight did.
All in all it was a good night for a walk. The stars were out, including the Pleiades, and a nice, brisk temperature.
