Endurance is up! Pain is down!

Runkeeper Stats

Set out to do a mile walk, made the happy mistake of eating first and bringing water with me. So I ended up just keeping walking. I wanted to go walking before work, but ended up sleeping in a bit too late. Once home from work, I set out.

I was hoping, at least after mile 2, that I would break the 3 mile mark on this walk but I just missed it. So next time I will add another block on the walk and boost up the distance a bit more. Aside from the mileage, the inclines I have been hitting are quite rough. After all the walking I have done though, I realized that my lower back is not hurting at all. The pain is mostly located in my upper shoulder area. Not sure what I am doing wrong/right but I will figure it out.

If I keep this up, I will definitely hit my weight goal I set.  Huzzah!

Interesting observation day

Runkeeper stats



Today was a short walk day. Just trying to keep limber and toughen up my feet again. I didn't take any water this time, but it seems I could have gone farther had I done so and I also noticed that when I carried the water bottle, I didn't have the swelling feeling in my hands. I figure this was due to active carrying of a solid object which allowed me to squeeze the blood out of my hands. It was an interesting observation.

Time to shower and get ready work work.

Endurance walk test

Runkeeper update

Did my first walk in awhile. since before my surgery. Lately I have been getting more and more ansi just sitting around. So I decided that I needed to see where my endurance lies. I know I have been losing weight, my knee has not been bothering me at all if any. So I took it slow and steady, brought my phone and a quart of water.

I did pretty good and I have burned off a lot of excess energy. It's a trial to even type this up. So, short update, huzzah for me!

Well... That happened..

Well in a twist of fate, it seems that my efforts to stay out from under a knife were thrown to the side.
