Walking

Well, I have been getting those walks in!!!

 

Yesterday morning I really struggled to get out of bed... I was just so tired!!  I managed to drag my sorry butt out though (20 minutes later!!) and went for a walk.  I followed the same route, but when one street further.  I still got the pains, but it wasn't until later when I was on my way back home, although after also working yesterday afternoon my legs were pretty tired when I got home!!  In addition to the sore leg and foot yesterday, I managed to get some pains up my shins... hooray for shin splints!!

• I walked for 20 minutes
• I burned 228 calories
• I walked 1.91km

 

This morning I made the decision to sleep, as I had planned to go for a walk this afternoon with my sister.  After an intense study day, I needed the break, so I headed over to her place so we could go for a walk. I don't have accurate measures of time as we also popped in to see my Dad on the way home, but:

• I burned 200 calories
• I walked for 1.8km

So far it's all going well!  Today the shin splints were the worst, but I learned that if I walk on the grass they don't hurt as much.  Tomorrow is a full day at work, so that is about 13000 steps there... so I won't be doing an additional walk as I don't think my body can take it right now.

 

However, on Saturday I have a bushwalk with my friends before my knitting group which will be great!  I love being out in nature (although I wouldn't call myself an outdoors girl!), it really relaxes me and makes me feel so fulfilled.
