badseed1980I took my walk today while listening to the KLF's The White Room album. It's great for fast-paced stuff! I did the office-Mass. Ave. bridge-Kenmore-BU Bridge-office circuit (about 2.8 miles) in 40 minutes--a 4.2mph pace. Then I did 20 minutes of walking at a very relaxed, cool-down pace. In spite of this cool-down, I was all sweaty and red-faced when I came in, and was utterly relieved to be in air conditioning again. :)
I guess if I can average a pace like that for 40 minutes, I might be able to do this running thing too. I realized that there's more stuff I need, though. I need a pair of shorts (not running shorts: they all have too-small legs in the size that fits my waist) and one of those armband thingies to hold my iPod while I run. Also, I will need new headphones, since mine have this tendency to bounce around a lot on my ears (they have the hooks that go over my ears), and they've been annoying me since I bought them anyway, since the hooks fall off.
Oh, and I'm also going salsa dancing tonight with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pierceheart. :) This day is going to be chock-full of exercise! Rock on!
In other news, I need new damn shoes for Saturday's wedding. Oy. But even if I can't find any and am forced to wear my shoes that don't quite match and don't have quite a high enough heel, at least I have a lovely dress...a dress that's so long it will completely cover the shoes!
