The need to be strategic when starting out....

I have found that if I split my walking into two discontinuous chunks during the day, utilizing time at my desk away from the treadmill in between the "sessions", my feet get enough rest to allow me to walk more miles. Previously I walked until my feet hurt too much, then figured that was it for my feet for the day. Granted, this is based on how much I am able to plan that particular day, given meetings and other distractions that naturally occur. If anyone else has this same experience, or this insight is helpful to other "trekkies" starting out, let me know!
