    I walk every morning, 6 times around the streets surrounding our house. It’ll be good to try sprinting every 1/2 block or so.

    I am starting a running conditioning class so I am sure I will get my fair share of running blocks in the next twelve weeks!

    This morning my running partner was sick so I took the bike. At the park I got off my bike and ran up this hill that is pretty steep 3 times. It was great. It made my workout!

    I added sprinting to my morning walk about 2 months ago and am loving the results. The dog is loving it too.:)

    I usually sprint while walking the track 3 times a week, it really helps keep my routine from becoming boring.

    I walked to our local grocery store and sprinted twice during the 25 min walk back. I could feel all my muscles saying thank you!

    If sudden sprinting downhill counts, then I’m all in!

    I have Lupus and can’t run, skip, or jog. My hip and knee needs repair or replacement. I wear molded shoes. I walk kind of like a swamp monster in a horror movie. I do sitting down exercises chosen by my physical therapist. Does this count for anything?
