Day 7

Back on the road work regimen... went to bed last night around 9:30 pm... got back up around 2:30am... I tried my best to sleep until around 4:30am but couldn't do it. watched TV until 4:30am and then started preparing myself for my walk... downloaded "Cardio Trainer" on my SmartPhone... loaded up my walk music... put on my new walking shoes I bought yesterday and I was off walking by 5:00am. It felt awesome getting back on track with my walking. I had started on new years and kept it up for about 2 months but then I started getting lower back pains... My Dr sent me to a specialist and found out I have arthritis in my lower back. I have been going to therapy for awhile now and the arthritis seems to be calming down so I thought I try the walking again. So far so good... I walked 20 mins this morning at a speed 4.8 kilometers and lapped my community 4 laps for about a mile. The new shoes really made a difference in my endurance to keep walking without taking breaks, which was freaking awesome! lol... I am taking baby steps for now... don't want to overdue it and cause my arthritis to flare up again.
