  1. words of wisdom i received this week.
    • the primary goal is training you (me) to get off the couch, out of the house, & consistently do something. this will be 3-4-5 times a week.
    • don’t try to do more than what we’re doing right now.
    • speed, distance don’t matter right now, what matters is you are working towards spending 2+ hours on your feet, moving. if you can’t walk for that long you sure as hell can’t run for that long.
  2. i feel pretty good about how things went. not to say there wasn’t a struggle within to finish or start, but i did that. finish. start.
  3. i went out Monday, Tuesday, Thursday this week. Wednesday, michael couldn’t go until late, & I had quite a bit of hip pain. legs, back, & feet were good.
  4. i learned that socks matter. i wore a pair of hanes bamboo socks that i like & learned they slide when you walk with pace. no blisters formed, thankfully, so back to the fancy running/walking socks. will consider getting higher ankled versions soon, the heal of my shoes could rub.
