Feeling The Pain

Okay, so the hard work is starting to catch up to me. I knew it would eventually but, now it's here. The first few days of walking, my leg muscles were letting me know they were there. A little ibuprofen and away I went.

So, now I'm starting to get some knee pain and tendon soreness. It worries me a little bit. I've never really tried to do something like this and honestly this is really the first time I've really set myself on a course to be truly physically active. I'm sure most of it will pass but, my body is definitely waking up.

I'm holding at walking three miles a day for now but, next week I need to get onto at least one four-mile walk. I couldn't imagine being able to do three miles but, aside from the soreness, the walks, though slow, are getting easier.

Thanks to those of you that have expressed your support in word and in contributions. I feel like we are all doing this as a team and your actions and words help motivate me to keep on going - for you and especially those we are walking for. No pain, no gain - right? :-)
