Recently I made a new friend with one of our neighbors. I often see her jogging in the evening. She asked me to join her to her evening routine. I accepted her offer with one condition. I can join her with walking, instead of jogging. She pleasantly accepted my request.
She told me her usual goal. When I looked it up in Google Maps, it showed 9.8 mile (15.8 km) in the round trip from our area. She said it usually takes her about 1.5 hour. I asked her if she stops here and there. She said no. She keeps jogging for the 1.5 hour without stopping. That is amazing. I really respect her for doing the good exercise for more than 10 years.
I usually walk to my daughter’s school. It is 2.4 mile (3.9 km) in the round trip. I get used to this distance, so that I can walk this far without any issue.
For today’s walk, since it was our first get-together walk, she suggested me the alternative goal for us. The goal is located in the middle of her usual goal and my usual goal. We both agreed for her suggestion.
We fast-walked. We jogged from time to time. I left my house at 4:45 p.m. and came back home at 6:00 p.m. Thus, we walked for 1 hour and 15 minutes. After the walk, both of us sweat like a horse. It was actually comfortable sweat. I felt my body cells were happy for this refreshing exercise.

After I came back home, I looked up the goal of our walking of this evening. It showed 4.2 mile (6.8 km) in the round trip.
I was amazed at the long distance we walked. No wonder we had a huge amount of sweat. It was a very nice walk with her. I enjoyed her being company.
We wanted to keep this walk every evening. But in the next week, she has to go to work both in the morning and in the night, due to lacking of staff members in her workplace. We might be able to resume our walk in the following next week.
