I've been injured and sedentary too long. A couple of weeks ago I started walking along the bus route until it hurt too much, then hobbled onto a bus back home.

Today I made that distance and back with low/manageable pain.

Next time the same route will be less pain, and soon I'll try going as far as I can in the other direction and bus back again.

Oh that’s a fantastic idea to walk along the bus route and just catch one back when you’re done. Keep it up man!

    Thank you! Yeah, it can be hard to assess the halfway point beforehand, and I have both bad days and good days (I didn't make it all the way home today, but it was still good), so having transport nearby means I can attempt to go further.

    So sweet of you to check back in!

    I had some trouble during the summer heat and didn't get out much, so I tried getting on a bicycle instead. It was both easier and harder. But it's crazy how much further you get on a bike vs on feet even on flat ground.

    Now it's getting dark and cold and I'm losing motivation, so I'm dialing back to shorter walks. Might need a tangible goal line as well, like finding a different Christmas decoration or display for every walk or something. I'm trying not to connect my goals to food, but I know walking to get a hot chocolate could be very motivational the next couple of months..!

    How are you doing? Do you have any goals?
