I can't believe that I just did what I did! First of all I just walked my longest walk yet...6 MILES!! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I did struggle some with the last mile. My left hip decided that it had enough and tried to stop working! It started to feel a little like bone grinding on bone. Ouch! But it wasn't quite so bad that I had to stop. I only had a mile left so I pushed through the pain. Hopefully as the miles increase my hips will adjust and the pain will subside (I've had hip and lower back issues for many years).
Now the more shocking part of this walk, I got up at 7 am!! If you know me, you know that I am NOT a morning person! I don't do mornings well. I hate getting up early. Well, I broke my own 'sleep as late as possible on the weekend' rule and got up for this walk! I knew that to get in my miles I would have to. I didn't get to walk yesterday because it stormed all afternoon & today it is supposed to do the same. So I knew that I had to get up early to walk. The temp would be better too. So I did it!!! I left the family snoozing in their beds and went for it!
It actually worked out well. Temp was okay. Still really hot but not 95! Too early for any of the neighborhood dogs or kids to be out & very little traffic.
I hoped that the fam would sleep right through & they pretty much did. They had only been awake about 15 minutes when I got back and were still in bed. So they still go their sleeping late in so I would be the only one with cranky pants today from getting up too early. LOL! [Hope not]
Now I'll just have to see if this was a fluke or if I can continue with this morning walking thing (well on weekends). I'd have to get up at 5 to do this during the week...ummm...not gonna happen! Ha!
Wow I just walked 6 miles before 9am...amazing! ;-)~
