...I walked for almost 1 1/4 hours - 4.4 miles!!! I could hardly believe it. At the beginning of the walk my right knee hurt, my plantar faciitis hurt (left foot), even my Morton's neuroma on the bottom of my right foot hurt. I kept going, though, and they all sort of dissipated. Well, my knee still hurt some, and I had to walk a little gingerly, but I did it.
A friend and I are going to walk the Boulder Boulder on Memorial day. It is a 10k, and most people run, but we're going to walk. You just have to be able to do it in under 2 hours. After today's walk, I'm certain I can do that!
I was so excited. I'll have to see how my ailments feel tonight and tomorrow, but at least now I know I am physically able. Tim told me I was, and he was right. This has also given me renewed motivation to get in better shape before that event. If I walk a couple of times a week, that will help a lot. If I get on my bike and ride some, too - even better! If I say "no!" to French fries for a week, I'll really be on my way! I think I'm feeling better today.
If I can walk for over an hour, maybe this weight loss thing can really be done after all!
