Wow... I didn't think of it on my way to town last night on my walk. It took a good 45 minutes to get there. Then I was feeling the workout I'd gotten so far and actually find myself going slower on the way home... I was wearing a pair of boots to get myself used to that too. Anyways, I remembered what you, MT were saying here and I tried the breathing thing as you discribed. I got home in less than forty minutes. More than five minutes quicker than going to town when I'm "fresh". BTW, I'm a little sore today.  ;D
