I mowed the yard yesterday...1 hour for the back and 30 mns. on the front-quite the workout in this heat. Forgot to use my pedometer to see how many steps/miles that is...will do next week when I mow.
Today...went to the park and did a 1 1/5 mile walk...was really dragging and am embarrassed to say it took me 53 minutes! The slowest mile and a half I have ever walked in my life, lol. That was a sad walk for sure but it was something. I came home and was feeling better and did my 2 mile WATP dvd so feel like I accomplished something.
I miss you all. I got some sort of bug ans my sinuses are acting up and I feel dizzy and sick and my tummy is all messed up. Can one get the flu in the summer? Everytime I go to the doctor I get sick, WTH?!
I've been out of town on holiday, so no formal exercise. TONS of walking though, in flip flops (my summer shoe of choice). Does shopping count as exercise??? I feel it must. My body, especially my lower back, is killing me!
Amanda, my knee is buggered at the moment too. I haven't been to the gym to run in nearly a week and rather than enjoying the break, my knee has decided to pitch a fit. I'm hobbling up and down stairs instead of walking. It sucks. I don't know if I can/should run tomorrow. I don't like to indulge my knee because it *will* try to take advantage of me. Also, I'm disappointed that all the squats and lunges and running and cycling haven't built up my quads enough to stop this from happening.
OT, but exciting: I went to a running store yesterday and bought some new, fancy running shoes. They put me on a treadmill to jog and filmed my feet and then we watched it in slo-mo to see what I need for shoes. It was pretty freaky to watch. Bony ankles and feet flailing all over the place! But I have new running shoes. Yay!
