5/16-18/2006 - Time to get serious
I am more than a month behind! As several of you have noted the inverse relationship between the quality and lag of posting, I'm going to start doubling, nay, tripling and even quintupling up.
For now, I will let myself post 3 days at a time just because and 5 days when I post a city. That should catch me up fast. I'll "let the air out" as it becomes clear I no longer need such crutches.
Speaking of getting serious, I tried a new strategy yesterday. As I may have mentioned in prior posts, I take long walks early on Sunday mornings (typically from 6-8). I don't want to stretch these out too often, because they become onerous on the Wife if the kids wake up at 6:10. So, I had pretty much hit my limit around 14,000+ steps for such trips. On my FIL's advice, I decided to kick it up a notch yesterday. After I had gotten warmed up, I started jogging 100 steps out of each 500. This had the desired effect in that I managed to fit in about 16,000 steps in 2 hours, but I must confess, I am second guessing myself today.
I forgot how brutal running can be. I probably ran 1 mile tops yesterday and I am expeiencing some weird aches and pains. Not muscle pains, I generally regard those as objects of pride. Rather, I have some weird discomfort in my gimpy knee (not actual pain, happily) and some mild soreness in my shins.
It's probably time to dial back a notch.
30,200 impulsive steps today. Cheers,
