gardenerjoy - Well done doing 2 walks in one day. Do you walk outside or on the treadmill?

momtopands - Good job pushing through the soreness to work out. It always surprises me how exercise often helps reduce how sore I feel.

I got in way more steps than is my norm today. I don't know if it was just a coincidence or if the extra movement did it, but I had so much energy today! I'm usually on the low energy side of the spectrum, probably because I have low blood pressure. I hope this increased energy wasn't just a blip but was actually from the extra steps. It would be great if I could feel like this every day! And that energy was even with just under 5 hours of sleep last night (not deliberately so low).

The only problem is I'm starting to find my work walks pretty tedious. I think I'll have to bring my earbuds with me and listen to a podcast, even for the short 5-10 minute jaunts.

Chunkahlunkah: I walk outside, now, but I've made a treadmill work for me at times, too. I either walk with a companion or a podcast -- that definitely makes it more fun. Sometimes, I want to walk just because I'm behind on my podcasts.

gardenerjoy - Walking while listening to podcasts is one of my favorite things to do. I don't walk with a companion often, only once or twice a month, but I agree, that can make it much more fun. I'll be doing a hike at a state park soon with someone in really good shape. My walking stamina was in a sad state before this challenge. I think I'll be able to keep up with him now.

I enjoy solo walks w/o podcasts but only when I'm in a setting with natural beauty. Sadly my office doesn't come close to fitting the bill for that. :lol: Oh, I also love that when exploring cities! I'm an easily pleased traveler. :D

Chunkahlunkah: I love walking in new cities -- the best way to explore!
