My first 3 mile walk!!

Well, to add to my pain, yesterday was to be my first full 3 mile walk. I honestly didn't think I could do it. I really didn't want to even try. Just getting outta my car was a challenge! But I went anyway, I crawled outta my car and went for it. The first 5 minutes was brutal. I couldn't get my stride right. My legs didn't work like they should. So I stopped after a few to stretch, oh wow was that horrible! I really wanted to just go back to my car but I didn't give in. UGGHHH!!

I got to moving again and gradually it got easier. I took a new path to extend my time and just hoped that I didn't end up a mile away from my car and my legs would give out. But they kept going, well for a while. I could start to feel the fatigue at about 2 miles which was the longest I had done up to this point but I pressed on. I had to, I wasn't anywhere near my car! ;-) I really started to struggle at about 50 minutes. My body was done. I slowed my pace but had to keep going! Where was my damn car?? I made it through that last 10 minutes and there over the hill was 'black magic'. [Yep my car has a name!] LOL! I had made it! I tried to stretch out but all my legs wanted to do was sit so that's what I did. The ride home was nice! AC blasting, no shoes, 28 ounces of water. Ahhhhh!
