.....walking, that is. :o)
I'm finally feeling good enough to start walking outside (have been taking a few laps around my living room since surgery).....it's been YEARS & I'm REALLY out of shape. It was hot yesterday, so I waited until it was dark & cooler & went out for a walk. Our neighborhood is exactly 1 mile up & back to my house, so it's easy to know how far I've gone. I did one lap last night... a full mile. It felt good! It was slow going.... not as slow as it was earlier in the week when I was still hurting, but still slower than I used to walk. I didn't time it, but I'm figuring it was probably a half hour. My goal, for my short little legs, is to bring it up to a 20 minute mile......then walk for an hour... 3 miles total. For now, I'm just going to get out there & walk... build up some strength & stamina.
