We're halfway through October, and so far I have walked/moved most of the days. Time to catch up!
- As I wrote on the 5th, I went into the pool instead of walking, plus did condo checks.
- On Monday the 6th, I did a 15-minute online stretch class, and also parked in between two stops and walked back and forth instead of moving the car (it wasn't much walking, but it counts).
- On Tuesday, I didn't manage anything. Oh well.
- Wednesday, I had the stretch class again, and I was packing, which involves plenty of walking around, albeit inside.
- Thursday the 9th, I did plenty of walking in airports!
- Friday the 10th, I took my aunt to Wegmans, and we walked around for probably an hour and a half.
- Saturday the 11th was the big one: we went to Apple Festival, and of the roughly four hours we were there, I estimate I was on my feet for three and a half!
- Sunday the 12th I did go outside briefly, to look at the trees, but my legs were so sore from Saturday, I made it maybe 8 minutes before coming back inside. Walking from the car to the restaurant for dinner added a few more!
- Monday the 13th was my return travel day, and with flight delays, the 11-hour trip turned into 14 hours. Some of that was driving, some of it was sitting in planes or around airports, but quite a lot of walking was involved, too. Turns out that looking for the elusive quiet, comfortable, and not freezing cold place in an airport is kind of a lost cause, but I took a lot of steps trying to find it.
- Tuesday the 14th was a total loss in terms of walking, or anything else other than recovering. I didn't even finish unpacking! Totally flattened from Monday.
And that brings me to today, where I am less than totally flattened, though still somewhat lower-energy than my usual (which is not high). So I worked, did some of the unpacking, did the 15-minute stretch class, and that's that. Perhaps tomorrow I will summon the energy to go for a walk! Stay tuned.
Ah yes, airport walking feels endless and then, stuck in a chair on a plane, for hours, I miss it.
ReplyDeleteExactly. It's walking, but it isn't pleasant walking.
DeleteOh, you're a Cool Walking Blogger! I decided to join Elisabeth's club this time, and I've either walked or ran MOST days in October- my goal was to accomplish 100% but... that's not going to happen. I have gotten out to walk more than I normally would, so it's all good.
ReplyDeleteAnything more than zero is good!
DeleteI used to be a fanatic about walking but since my mom died, I haven't been as much into it. However, I am starting to walk most days at least and getting close to or over 10,000 steps. It will have to do.
ReplyDeleteRoutines can be hard to make and easy to disrupt. Do what you can!
DeleteThat's the emptiest TSA line I think I've ever seen. Seems you could just duck under all those barriers.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, most of my emails to you have bounced back today and yesterday, in case I'm seeming quiet.
p.s. And I've loved my walking time. Sounds like you're getting good at being consistent about it. I had to put it on full stop post-op and missed it very much--and now I have to ease back into the habit again. It's been surprisingly easy not to bother.
ReplyDeleteYay for walking. It's surprisingly exhausting to navigate airports. So much time on one's feet!
