Last night I could sleep so at 2:00 am I walked 1 mile (part of the n'hood loop) it was beautiful out...It was about 70 degrees and windy. A storm was moving in and the sky was overcast so the lightning lit up the whole sky. It was like a flash of daylight for a second or two at a time. I beat the rain home or I would've walked the whole loop.
For breakfast this morning: two egg white/veg. omelet. Soup for lunch. I walked Sam down to Gavyn's house, taught the boys a new Judo throw, we had a mini work out. Then I walked home. (almost 1 mile there and back) Dinner was grilled boneless/skinless grilled chicken breast, Japanese Veg mix and rice ( I had a little more rice than I should have, oh well)
There might be a Sat. Judo work out tomorrow!!!!! I hope so.
I was just wondering if the same amount of calories is burned by walking one mile vs. running one mile. I mean scientifically speaking the same amount of work is being done, moving this mass over a specific distance, the same amount of work has been done, but at a slower rate of speed. Just wondering, I doesn't really matter since I cant run. But if any running vs. walking / fitness expert knows this answer go ahead and leave comments!!!! Thanks.

I've been walking, too. Even when I loose a substantial amount of weight, I'm not sure if I'll jog or run because of my joints. I would rather walk briskly and be more easy on them. But who knows, after losing 20, 30, 40 pounds of extra weight, my joints could feel substantially better and up to a little jog.
Keep up the good work. :)
