I have about 10 routes all over my neighborhood with varying lengths depending on how far I need to go. It's also free (upgrade available) and compatible with Fitbit and MyFitnessPal.

Sometimes when I'm running and see my pace on my Garmin, I actually think to myself, "Better pick it up--Katie could walk right by you!"

Or stairs?<br />Sounds like a great walk! I've been opting for walking a lot more than running this summer (kinda burnt out on the running), and it has definitely helped me lose weight because I can walk for 2 hours per day, most days of the week, while with running I'd only run for 30 min a couple times per week and then maybe one Jillhttp://homeatsix.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-3273471614853138922015-08-24T09:18:34.921-04:002015-08-24T09:18:34.921-04:00In regards to upping your heart-rate while walking...In regards to upping your heart-rate while walking, you could try ankle and wrist weights!

I live on a peninsula, so I don't have a lot of options from home, but basically I would just run in one direction until I reach the halfway point and then turn around and run back (an out-and-back route). When I'm out driving somewhere, I tend to pay attention to whether there are sidewalks or bike paths around, and I make a Katie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733849582309631730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-4068209846251447242015-08-24T06:53:50.981-04:002015-08-24T06:53:50.981-04:00I wish it was that simple with Joey!

You should verbally scold him for not behaving and restrict how much leash he has when he is misbehaving. When my dog pulls, I give a sharp tug back on the leash (she is on a harness, so it does not hurt her neck), and say 'NO' sternly. After that, I hold her leash about halfway down the leash, so she has Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-71839029088189409202015-08-24T00:22:28.131-04:002015-08-24T00:22:28.131-04:00I know that you are now super familiar with differ...I know that you are now super familiar with different paths that you can take that are various miles, and it's probably pretty easy now for you to figure out where you're going to do you run (and now walk) each day.
