Good going, everyone! My knees won't allow me to run, but I can walk ("kinda fast," is how I would describe it... ) and I have set my goals very LOW and ACHIEVABLE because I tend to get really competitive with myself, and then into a pattern of judging my performance, then... quitting. Better to shoot for something do-able. I am doing about 20 minutes of walking, most days. And that feels really good. Often I will go for a couple of those walks, or several shorter ones... my neighborhood is great in that it's about a 5-8 minute walk from my house to the grocery store, post office, drug store, my office, etc. So today I went out in the BLAZING sun and walked 25 minutes and got up a very decent sweat. Feels great.
best wishes, all
