started...
walking!
After having a few minor complaints at my last doctor appointment, (Almost a year ago now! I don't follow directions very quickly...), my doctor advised that I should try walking. And so after a year of thinking about it and just not taking any steps (get it...steps...walking...oh well, bad joke) this July 5th I decided I needed to try it out.I didn't go far at first. I was afraid I'd be out of breath and have to sit on a curb for awhile and someone would drive by and see me. Horrors! Actually, in a small town it would be slightly horrific. We all know each other...
I'm almost up to a mile now. I try to keep a steady pace. I've been going every day except for a few when it was just too hot and humid. There are a lot of people who walk in the evenings but for me the morning is best.
Winter could be a bit of a challenge but my 2nd DDIL runs outside during the winter and so I'm thinking I can walk too...with the right clothes that would of course include some nice warm hand knit socks!
I plan to keep it up. I feel stronger. My brain seems clearer and sharper. I get fresh air every day. And my doctor should be impressed!
