I walked 6 miles today... OUCH!

My hubby and I decided we should walk with the kids every other day to show the kids a healthier life style and we walked 6 miles tonight. It was ok at list but the last mile was the killer but I am still alive and believe or not I am not in pain at all. I cant wait till after the surgery when I can maybe jog or RUN 6 miles that will be so nice. It actually hurts more when I get on my elliptical then walking today. Well thanx all Hugs and kisses April

WOW April WTG! How long did it take you?? I walk every weekend with a friend... we used a pediometer a couple times, and always get a differant result (even though its the SAME route) it is somewher between 6.5 miles and 7.5 miles and takes us about 3 hours I think (depending on hte weather!) We started in Novemeber and it was a LONG COLD winter! Walking this time of year is much better! Wonder what summer will bring! You should give yourself a HUG pat on the back to do that walk before surgery! I am thinking about starting to run a track when my husband starts coaching Pee-Wee Football (imagine all that pain in half the time!) lol Sweet Mammy
