One mile yesterday. Plan to do more today. Watch for post.

It was so warm outside I decided to try the workout room on campus.
It was locked but luckily kind gentleman opened it for me.
I got on the machine--- What do I do? It is all in Kilometers! The weight is in metric also. I have never been a metric person!
I had to guess. So I guess I went 1.7 miles.
Tomorrow I will take my pedometer and measure the distance that way and compare the digital readout. 192 pounds = 87.3 kilograms.

So I set my workout at 5.5 Kilometers which is actually better than
3 miles an hour. Good. So if I went 1.7 Km then that is over one mile if the distance was being measured in KM. 1 mile = 1.61 kilometers (km)
5.5 Kilometers = 3.417541557305337 Miles
