exercising

Well, it's a start. I spent 2.5 hours playing DDR, thinking I was doing good -- then realized I would burn the same amount of calories in 8 minutes if I just ran a mile. Bad Konami!!!

So today I did my first real exercising of the summer: approximately 2552 meters in 17 minutes (roughly 1.59 miles). Around my immediate neighborhood; it is almost entirely uphill, and then the very end is a very dramatic downhill.

According to Google:
2 552 meters = 1.58573928 mi
1.58573928 / (17 / 60) = 5.59672687 miles/hour (average speed)
17 / 1.58573928 = 10.7205517 minutes/mile (average)

More than half of that was uphill; I think that's pretty good for my first jog this summer, however brief.

The crappiest part of it was the sun was blinding me for half of it.

sun, exercise, summer
