I have been a slacker as well with the commenting and blogging (but my break is due to slightly-less-life-changing work stuff) and haven't been by in a while! That definitely makes your leg of the marathon relay that much more amazing!!! :)<br /><br />As for walking - I love it for transportation, I love it for spending time with my Zliten, but as exercise? Meh. Not a fan. Takes too long for too little calorie burn. Now, talk to me if/when/someday I'm in the same situation and I bet I'll be right along with ya.Quixhttp://www.adjustedreality.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387275476617323454.post-67642371380379958952010-03-30T12:54:01.267-04:002010-03-30T12:54:01.267-04:00as i've been studying for my personal training...as i've been studying for my personal training cert, there's so much about walking that i've learned. i've always heard that it's so good for us, but now I'm really learning about it. you can accomplish a lot of the same goals as running by walking!!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07202296893022308340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387275476617323454.post-27502446176169534582010-03-29T13:53:40.879-04:002010-03-29T13:53:40.879-04:00I walked a lot when I was pregnant, and really enj...I walked a lot when I was pregnant, and really enjoyed it.

I did my usual running training as I prepared a different event, and then showed up with him on race day. Holy cow, walking at a fast clip is hard! We were pushing a 13:30/14:00 minute mile, and I was hurting something fierce by the end.Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09004677338036439657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387275476617323454.post-25498665200097903272010-03-28T20:22:02.412-04:002010-03-28T20:22:02.412-04:00I always enjoyed a good long walk, but never reall...I always enjoyed a good long walk, but never really appreciated it until I was injured. <br /><br />Post some belly shots mama!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387275476617323454.post-38944281095727533692010-03-28T19:54:19.462-04:002010-03-28T19:54:19.462-04:00Walking definitely counts!

It is usually 10 miles. This week it was 13. I swear that walking is harder on my body than running. I get my heart rate up, my glutes hurt and it takes my legs a good day to recover. Enjoy your walks!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11192174576918883381noreply@blogger.com
