Discussion: Brisk

What's getting into you guys? That is a brisk pace.

It must be the absence of running and pilates in my life. Plus it was just before dinner and I said I'd be back at a certain time.

The problem I have walking that pace is not looking like I just came from the Monty Python's Ministry of Silly Walks.

Most race walkers look like they just came from the Monty Python's Ministry of Silly Walks. I guess it works though - they are really fast nowadays doing times that "normal" runners have a hard time to reach.

Here in Verona I am on something of an opposite program, logging over 20,000 steps a day, but wilting in the heat and humidity and definitely not at all brisk.
