day 7,and after bein a bit sore early this mornin,im feelin much better..very pleased with the way my body has recovred from yesterday,although last night i thought i might have done too much,too soon...the only cardioi'll do tody is playin the guitar,walkin to the mailbox,and cookin a bite to eat,but will do a set or two of preacher curls,and a lot of stretchin,etc..i think the reason im recoverin faster from yesterdays walk,than i did from sundays,is because of the 5 times i stopped and stretched my calves,back,etc,will make a point to remember that saturday..one thing this long distance walkin will teach you is patience,which sometimes i lack,..really need to go to the soccer field(1 mile rectangle) so i can see how far im walkin,but goin around i a circle,bores me to death...got plenty of time to think about it....im really beginnin to like walkin as far as i can,and then takin two days off,when i was doin 1 hr every day,i never felt like iwas at full strength,but havin two days off is great because when i go back out,i'll be fully rested,and that means everything,if youre workin on building endurance.....'keep the continue'
