Got in a decent workout today. My first mile was a 20 min/mile, but my second was an 18 min/mile! So I walked a little further before I had to get my errands done.
Walked: 45 minutes
Distance: approx. 2 miles

NERVOUS
I'm actually nervous about tomorrow's weigh-in. Mostly because I don't know what might happen to my psyche if I weigh in and don't lose any weight again this week. And I swore to myself that I wouldn't get so hung up on the pounds lost, but it's so hard when it's such an easy way to gauge success.
So anyway, I don't have anything more to report for today ... just keep your fingers crossed for tomorrow's weigh-in ...

Today was hard ... I wonder if it's because I walked so late in the day yesterday (6pm) and this walk was early (9am). Either that, or it was just mental.

If I wasn't already married ...
... I'd propose to my new running shoes.
SERIOUSLY.
They are so different from my old shoes, it's insane. I started walking today, and I actually had to look down to remind myself I was actually wearing shoes. They were so light, my brain kept fooling me into thinking I was walking in my socks. My ankles didn't burn AT ALL. Not even at the beginning, which I completely expected since I hadn't walked in earnest in a full week. So that leads me to believe that those old shoes were too heavy for my feet. It's a little weird, though; these new shoes are "walking" shoes, and the old ones are "running" shoes, and I'd think that the runners would be lighter than the walkers since you don't want extra weight keeping you grounded when you run. Maybe that's just my uneducated guessing, though.
Anyway, I think I did pretty well for not having done any serious workouts in a week. I'm going to walk on base tomorrow and break them in further. Maybe The Munchkin will let me walk a full three miles this time!
Who new a new pair of shoes would make such a difference??

Walking on air!
I BOUGHT NEW SHOES!!
(doing the happy dance)
I went to the BX here and found so many choices, it was actually hard to choose. Plus they had placards that said what type of foot each shoe was designed for, so I looked for the most "neutral" shoe just because I have no idea if I pronate, supinate, or just nate. (I know there's no such thing ... right?)
So here's what I got:
It's the New Balance 759, which is described by the company as "a neutral trainer built on our ACTEVA™ LITE midsole to provide the runner a light responsive, cushioned ride." When I put them on in the store, I loved them. They seem so much lighter than the Asics I'm wearing now, so hopefully it will help to alleviate the ankle issues I've been having.
I am working out at a friend's house tomorrow, so no walking ... but as soon as I test-drive these babies, I will report back on their awesomeness.
