Today I walked around Temple Square 3 times. Temple Square is relatively flat, a little downhill on two legs and a little uphill on the other two, but nothing challenging. That plus the nearly half mile down and again back yielded these results. It is quite a hill to get back to our apartment, so that added some terrain today.
Goal: 2.5 miles or further if possible
Total: 2.42 miles. I didn't check the total until I got inside but I could have gone the other .08 miles easily. Too bad that was the reason to come up short!
Speed: 2.9 mph
Time: 50:35 minutes
Calories burned: 252
How I felt, and feel now: I was a bit achy in my hips, not a usual thing. There were stretches when I was going 4.0 mph so I am surprised it ended up at 2.9. Maybe because I kept it on while unlocking the three doors.... I feel like this was a reasonable third-day-in-a-row walk, plus we plan to go to the temple tonight and that will be almost another mile. If I hadn't had that coming up, I would have dragged myself through another circuit of Temple Square. I'm glad I stopped when I did.
The weather was not a factor. I wore a hat and mittens and my lightish jacket and by the end I took off the mittens. It's right around freezing out there, and the sidewalks are clear though a bit wet in places. No problem!
