As I'm getting used to walking on the treadmill, it occurred to me that I didn't really know what a normal walking speed was, so I looked it up on the web.

3.5 mph

Seriously?  That seems AWFULLY fast to me (and I've always been a fast walker!)  Are my perceptions significantly out of whack or is that number crazy high?
