Lewis - you're absolutely right... I need to just do it.. a little at a time. I will tonight! Right now! I'm going!!! I'll post later! :)

**EDIT** Ok - i said I'd be back and here I am! I put together a playlist of songs that are all around 130 BPM (= 4mph) and I made it for 20 mins. (1.33 miles) so I at least started tonight. AND for the first time in a REALLY LONG TIME I jogged & walked them. When I got tired, I pushed myself to at least jog through the choruses. After that I made the playlist longer so that it's about a 1/2 hour. Still around 130 BPM so it'll be about 2 miles a night. After this week (depending on how the leg is doing) I'm going to up the BPM and then the length. It'd be INCREDIBLE to jog 6 MPH for a full hour! :yay: but baby steps here.... I don't want to push myself or get discouraged... and I surely DO NOT want to hurt my leg anymore! (it's a little tender right now.)

Ok all - i'm off for the night... check you all in the morning! :yawn:

It's a rainy, damp Turkey Day in sunny Arizona this year. Luckily the rain stopped around 6:45 this morning, although there is more rain coming through. We have been getting it in batches since yesterday.

There were a TON of turkey trotters out early this morning. Even saw a whole family walking together! I'm going on another 3k walk this evening after dinner w/ my mother, little brother and perhaps a few other relatives.

Happy Thanksgiving! :turkey:
