I walked a bit slower and wanted to catch up to keep my time below 20 minutes/mile. I jogged for a half mile and was able to keep my time at just around 15:20/mile. A very good walk! No pain and I felt much better after i walked...very tired this am.

Keep on truckin'

I did my walk today. My right side which has been the sore side during my walks, was non-existent today! My left side...knee and hip, were a bit sore while I moved but they are fine now. I know the massage worked for me and I look forward to the next one in two weeks.

Day off

.
I took a well needed day off after the hip pain from yesterday. I had an good hour's massage to specific muscle groups in the back, neck, shins and around both hips and let me tell you, Jonah knows his stuff!!! I am pain free tonight and am so "light" feeling in the hip that I can't wait until my walk tomorrow. I do have to remember to stretch before and after plus when I wake up and before I go to bed. He really worked out the pain areas...they were really stiff and tight!

Thanks Jonah!

Monday, 70 degree weather, great day to walk!

.
Today I did my 5 miles. A bit slower than I like but I'm just glad I got out. My left hip was bothering me and the usual right shin pain, as well. As usual though, I kept a steady pace, not too fast and walked out the pain. I hurt just a little after the walk and now, after a hot salt bath and some stretches, I feel great!

I walked my 5 miles today. I kept up with my time which is to stay under 16 minutes/mile. My time was 1:16:15. That's a good thing.

2008 is great! First Walk of the year...

I walked my 5 miles back at home since returning from TN yesterday. I will log all of my walks now to see just how far I go in one year. Last year I estimated a good 500 miles but didn't record it. It might have been more. My 2008 goal is 1,000 miles. That is an average of 4 days a week of walking 5 miles each time. I have walked 7 miles at least 15 times so that would be another 30 miles. Anything over 1,000 will be an extra helping of good for my body. Maybe I will have more walking goals to add as the year goes on. I do have other goals that are more weight and size related. The first is to wear my red jeans for Valentine's Day. I will set another goal as that one gets closer.

1/5/1,000 (means walk #1 then 5 miles then the thousand I am projecting for the year.)
