Valorie Walks

Geez, skipping both the walking AND the blogging -- where will it end? No, I didn't walk on Sunday because not just my blister, but my whole foot hurt. And Monday, because I didn't feel well all day. I tried to eat well, drink herbal tea, take a nap, and so forth. It was surprising how much that took me down Tues and and Wednesday. Difficult to pick up any speed, much more tired (AND uninspired) -- just no energy. But I walked anyway, even if not fully ten thousand aerobic steps. Both days I walked to the school via the church, then to the library and back. Oh, and the rain didn't help, either! All four days, yeah. Sunday - Total steps: 1,596, aerobic:0 ; 0.65 miles. Monday - Total steps:2,140 , aerobic: 0; 0.87 miles. Tuesday - Total steps: 12,027, aerobic: 8,989; 4.93 miles. Wednesday - Total steps: 10,479, aerobic: 9,136; 4.3 miles.

Lordy, I could have skipped today's walk, and I sure did want to! But I went anyway, and got hit with a bit of hail and then rain all the way home. Ended up with a painful blister on my right foot, too. UNDER the blister bandage that was already in place! Grrrrr...... Total steps: 12,942, aerobic: 11,562; 5.31 miles

My damn blister! It was hurting so much it was making me cry, so rather than finish my walk to the library, I turned around and came home. Grrrrrr! Nice sunny day, too. Perfect for walking. Total steps: 4614, aerobic: 2167 in 20 minutes; 1.89 miles I hope to go to the grocery store later; perhaps that will pump up my total steps a tiny bit. I'll wear other shoes, of course.
