Did 50 miles in one week!

I'm back doing my cardio outside, I have to say, I haven't felt better... despite the weather being shitty, I think of the weather like I think of the incline button, it's unpredictable and sets me up for a challenge. I'm jogging/walking 10 miles a day, early in the morning... its a good way to get my lungs and heart pumped into high gear. At my healthy 160 pounds, I used to do this route religiously.

From my house to ocean beach (roughly around 50 city blocks) = power walking
Ocean Beach to Lincoln (Power Walking in the sand)
Lincoln to Sloat (running/jogging every other bike path = 8 bike paths = 4 running/jogging = 3/4 city blocks)
Sloat to Lincoln (power walking)
Lincoln to 25th ave (jogging every other city block)
25th Ave Lincoln through Golden Gate Park to 18th and YMCA (power walking)

comes out to roughly 10.4 to 10.7 miles in 2 in half to 3 hours.  My goal is, as long as I put in 10 miles a day, I'm good to go.  At the gym,  I'm doing some weights, the row machine and core exercises. Usually done by 9:30am.
