[quote=Anonymous]Could this be a relativity thing?

I feel like I've walked 3 miles after I walk three miles. It feels nice to come in, sit down, maybe have a drink. Typically I either jump right into the shower or grab a seltzer and get going on an errand or sit down to do work; most of the time, I never touch the drink (I just like security drinks).

If it's very cold I might shed a layer during the walk because it warms me up. If it's very hot I am more miserable, but not necessarily out of breath, just sweaty.

Sometimes I wonder about my fitness, but notice that almost every time I take the stairs or walk a hill with friends - almost all of whom are thin or healthy - they are the ones who are out of breath and in comparison I am unphased.

Is this a self-conscious assessment or are you really truly out of breath to the point you are uncomfortable? An elevated heart rate and sweating when it's warmer is expected of a 3 mile walk. I would not expect max heart rate/huffing and puffing. [/quote]
