The average walking speed for a woman is 3 miles an hour, which is 20 minutes to the mile.
The distance that I’m jogging is 1/3 mile, so to walk it should take 6 mins 40 s on average.
Today’s time: 5 mins 29.76 s

How I did it: I read about Watchmen in Empire magazine and thought it looked really interesting; my partner was also reading the graphic novel at the time, so we eagerly awaited the release and went to see it as soon as possible :)I thorougly enjoyed the film and when I've finished reading the graphic novel, I'm going back to see it again before it finishes in the cinemas! Read how I did it…
How I did it: We were inspired by photos of Emilia's green hair and decided that we couldn't possibly let her dye it another colour (although still a fan of the blue as well!). I invited other people to join me and encourage her to bring back the green hair, until she finally relented after 62 people signed our petition. OK, so I can't do the maths, but the 62 people who signed had the power of 100, so we can just skip past that bit :P Read how I did it…
The average walking speed for a woman is 3 miles an hour, which is 20 minutes to the mile.
The distance that I’m jogging is 1/3 mile, so to walk it should take 6 mins 40 s on average.
Today’s time: 5 mins 29.76 s
I have been jogging twice in the last week, once last Thursday and once this evening. However, I can’t mark this goal as complete yet because I didn’t run for very long. Unfortunately, my stamina is really low and my fitness is poor, so I get too knackered after about 5 minutes (and that’s jogging, not a full-out sprint!). I’ve set myself a relatively short distance to do and recorded the time it took me and I’m going to try and reduce that time before adding to the distance.
So, it may take a while to do 30 minutes in one go. Perhaps, I should have set my sights a little lower when I set this goal, taking into account my awful level of fitness. Never mind – it’s set now, but it will take me longer than originally anticipated to complete this.
I’ve checked against the list so far and I’ve read 4 of the books, so I’ve got a way to go yet…
