walking

i turned out to be a nice day yesterday... so after the morning's obligations i decided to find some lighter weight clothes and go for a walk...  as usual my ears were colder than anticipated but overall it was a nice day and not very cold at all...
i covered a little over 3 miles - almost 4 - in under an hour...  it is always interesting to see that the stats on certain aspects - like when i have to run across the street - that always impacts my pace - especially stopping to cross and then bolting while crossing
i have hesitated to walk around this area as getting across the streets have become more difficult with the traffic
from there i also watched my pace - forgot that i could click through and watch my pace on the watch - i am trying to increase my walking pace - i do walk somewhere between 16 to 17 minute miles...  but when i pay attention it can be below 15... so if i am unable to get the run to be consistent perhaps i need to get that walk pace up to speed..
today is supposed to be in the high 60s again... packing outdoor walking clothes today for the workout...
need to try to get out right before 5pm before the expected winds and chill kick up
the remainder of the week will most likely be gym time...
