DRAT!
So, I’m hitting a wall with my walking. I don’t want to admit it, but I’m doing too much! I worked my walks up to 2.5 to 3km (1.5 to 1.75mi) in a very short period of time, and was comfortably doing that 4 times a day (about 7miles) for 2 weeks with no evidence of any negatives.

The last few days, my legs have been burning out way to early into the walk. I pushed through it a couple of days. I’ve had no pain afterwards, but even less progress each day, to the point that today was a disappointment. I am slower, stopping more often, and for longer. I still get days that I am unstoppable, but they are becoming less and less in the last few days.

If I was younger, I would say I was going to beat this, but I don’t think I am going to this time. It doesn’t mean I won’t be back here someday, but, it does mean I am not going about it the right way. It means that I am going to have to, not slow down, but walk less often for shorter distances. If I had to slow down, I would enjoy it less, so I am going to fight for this. I don’t care about the calories. I wan’t to walk. It completes me. I write better stories. I am more mindful. It is a kind of long-distance meditation. How many people say that they can effectively meditate for 2hours and 20minutes everyday?
