Feets don't fail me now!

Hey there! I need opinions from the wise folk of LiveJournal.

So, I'm getting about a mile of walking in per day, but after a week, I'm still a bit winded and overheated when I finish.

Give it time

A very long time ago, I went to work for the campus dorm security program. We had to do walking tours of the dormitory areas. We had a van to get from the office to one side of campus or the other, but we still walked everything between van rides. I still vividly remember how exhausted I was after that first 4 hour shift. Fast forward to that summer, I was pulling double shifts and didn't even breathe hard afterwards. A few years later, we lost the van and moved our office closer to the dorms and I walked the whole thing. 7 miles (we measured it with a pedometer) for a full tour of all the dorms. When I made management, I pulled two shifts a night (14 miles) five nights a week. Nowadays, two hours a week on the elliptical is hard to squeeze in, but I'm trying.
