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.

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?

    Oh cycling is awesome, I was big into it when I was in school. I love how much further you can go and explore, but like you said, that can sometimes make it harder lol. Definitely have bit off more than I could chew before.

    I’ve been working on trying to run more often. I have a hard time getting back into the groove after an injury or intense soreness though. I tweaked my foot when trying to do some stretches and was limping around for half the week haha. And then of course, cutting back on after work and weekend beers should help me lose some pounds :P

    I’m hoping this winter will have more snow than last year and I can get out to go snowboard a bunch
