Exercise with Friends: Walking Routine for Early Mornings

[pampchefsarah]

and walk with me? I don't want to give up my exercise routine, but also don't want to go out early in the morning by myself. My roomie did that last year, and said it was scary! Sadly, she won't be joining us this year.

When I say early, I mean out the front door by 5:15am, so we have time to come back and shower. Since there'll be some walking involved in just getting to and from the workshops, I'm willing to decrease the length of the morning walk to 2 miles, but would love to do 3 miles at least once. I'll try to go on Google Pedometer later and map out a route.

Please let me know if you're interested. It would definitely be more fun with at least 2 or 3 people.

I would be interested. Please email me at [email protected]

Sarah what kind of pace do you keep?

Angel and Deb, I could have sworn I responded here a long time ago, but apparently I was wrong!

Deb, I think I sent you an e-mail or PM, but, well, I was wrong about posting here, too. If I didn't, I apologize.

I walk about a 20 minute mile, but could do a little faster if I'm with someone who'll set and maintain a faster pace.

I hope to see you both at Meet & Greet tomorrow, anyway, but if not, my cell phone number is

. If you can text me your numbers, too, I'd appreciate it.

Not sure how close I will be to Hilton. I'm staying at the Congress Hotel. I just found out they have a 24 hour fitness room! I plan on doing 4 miles in an hour on the treadmill, but walking with others would probably be more fun. I'll try to give you a call too or txt you. I know what you mean about not giving up your workout - I'm addicted.

I had hoped to walk while there too because I am trying to get back into shape, however I broke my toe and wile I can walk, my toe gets really sore pretty quick, so I am thinking I better save my walking for conference and just swim for exercise and maybe soak in the hot tub a little.

Angel, there's a couple of us that are going to use the track that goes around the pool, as well as the pool. If you are staying at the Hilton, you just might see us! I'm not sure what time we are planning to walk.

I saw that the "Fitness" area is $18 a day. Is the pool in a different place?

Sarah - wish we were closer!

But at the Hyatt McCormick, there's a running/walking path that goes right along Lake MI, and there's a 24 hour fitness center that's FREE! I'm so glad because it looks like at least part of the time it's going to be HOT!

Janice, There is a charge for the fitness center (so much per day, or $25 for your whole stay I think) but the pool and the walking track around it is free. I called last week to make sure.

I am staying at the Hilton. They do charge for fitness center but not for the pool. At least that is how it was last year.

 

[pampchefrhondab]

Well I wonder if the Congress charges for their workout room. It didn't say so on the website. Oh well, it's worth it if I can get on a treadmill! I did find out I'm very close to the Hilton though so hopefully I can walk with someone instead.

Sorry I missed you guys....I ended up running the lakefront every morning at 5:30am. Maybe we passed each other! My pic is attached -- did we see each other??

Hope you all had an amazing conference!
