Exercise tips

OK as most of you know I am training for the Avon 2 day walk in June. This past weekend I participated in my first training walk. It was indoors at a local outlet mall, and I must say, I am worn out! I had no idea that 4 times around this mall was 7 miles!. I thought I'd just drop this in as a tip. Most malls open early for walkers. Even if you can't make it during the week, its a great thing to do on the weekend. THis mall opened at 7 and I was out by 9 after 4 laps, a full hour before the mall opened. And best of all its free! You don't have to worry about your finess level or paying for a gym, there were people of all sizes, ages, and fitness levels walking. There was a couple walking with sticks for balance, an elderly gentleman walking with a shopping cart for balance, everybody goes at their own pace. Just some thing to consider!
