Another walk

Went out again this morning for another walk with Andrea. My foot got sore about 2/3 of the way home. I think I was tensing it unknowingly. I stretched it out and tried to relax more with each step. I can still feel it a little, but it's not bothersome. I'll not walk again till monday to give it time to rest. I added some yoga/strengthening which felt good and I'll continue with that.

Wednesday walk

Andrea and I walked this morning. About 2 miles over 45 minutes. She developed a hot spot after about a mile, so we took it easy on the way back. I hope she continues to walk/run with me. It forces me to go slow, which is probably best for my foot.

Starting again

After the last post things continued well for awhile. I was at the point of running a couple of miles comfortably barefoot. I was on a run when I developed a stress fracture in my left foot. I spent 4 weeks in a walking boot, then another 3 strengthening my foot with basic walking. Other than participating in basement renovations I've had little to no exercise.

So today I started again. A 2 mile bare walk. Not at all vigorous, but I did get out there. My soles are feeling a bit tender. I'm going to stay with this until I can walk it without any discomfort at all. My break area is feeling ok, which is good. I'm also trying to moderate my eating habits and getting rid of the junk food I've been eating over the summer.
