8-30-16 Powerwalking, part 2

 Today upon waking up I felt a little bit more ready for the trip since I had to leave early as I said in yesterday's entry.   Today was the big day today I was flying from Tokyo all the way to my home airport of the South Bend.   In today's journey I would be walking through three airports Narita international airport in Tokyo Chicago O'Hare and then the South Bend regional airport and I definitely laughed a lot more today I am walking up and down terminals walking around looking for food and throughout all that walking I try to keep the pace I tried the powerwalking the extended stride the more powerful pushoff on the back foot and I really wanted to keep  pushing my pace as fast as I could I'm need to get my heart rate up.   I really wish I had my heart rate monitor on but dumb unfortunately I had packed it away and my heart rate are my am my pedometer was dead and I forgot to change the battery so I didn't bring it.   But by my estimates I definitely walked more than twice as much as I did yesterday and I did a lot more extra walking since I had a lot more waiting time.   So to keep the sweating down I would walk up and down my terminal from the beginning, all the way to the end and back a couple times.   By my estimates walking from the top of the terminal all the way to the end and back is probably around 800m to 1km in distance.  So in total I think I walked over 10 km today.   Oh and just so you know only the first time I walked on the moving sidewalks the rest of the times I went around on the normal carpet.

 On the plane I couldn't really walk around or do pace walking so instead of that I got up a couple times to stretch to do some yoga moves nothing too big but a few poses like a triangle of forward bend and things all these stretches that I've done on different programs that I would loosen my body up on the plane because the flight was extremely long and the seats were very uncomfortable.

 But I made it to my destination and I'm very happy about that but I was very tired and sleepy because I stayed up and watched a few movies on the plane.   So I'm hoping that I  can get over my jet lag quickly and I can start doing regular workouts on every day from tomorrow hopefully.
