Great news! The dog'll definitely keep you walking, and your lifestyle seems perfect for this. They were wise to select you.
You're still a speed demon compared to me. I can't go much over 2.5 mph before I get some symptoms. But what I lack in speed, I make up for in tenacity! IMO it's more important to go far than to go fast.
