Up early this morning and walked/jogged 3 miles at the track and to my daughter's house by 7:15 am to keep the 16month old grandson.
We played trucks, cars, hide & seek, danced, read books, snuggled, then this afternoon played chase the bubbles and soccer in the front yard.......What a beautiful day to be active and alive.

Hello from the other side of the river... LOL!


I cant wait to have that much energy with my 7 kids.... sounds like you had a great time with your grandson...!

What track do you walk at?

I just stay tired all the time.  How is your energy level changed since before the surgery??

When I am off or sometimes after work, I walk at the track in Ashland City or at the Nature Trail there also.  The track is 3/4 mile in distance in a contained area by the river.  The Nature trail is 4 miles long.....one way.  If I walk that one, I go 1-2 miles in and turn and come back out the same way.

Other times I walk at work in the gym there, also weights and stationary bike.
As for my energy, I have been walking or something since last September.  Before that I didn't have any at all.   But slowly adding a mile a day for 5-6 days/week got me going.  After about a month, I added 5 minutes per week to the time it took.  After 3 months, I concentrated on speed and was able to be a mile in 15-17 minutes.  Now I can do a mile in about 14-15 minutes and usually get my 3 miles in about 45-50 minutes.  My heart rate is up most of that time.   
My energy levels are much better now, with all I have done and the 60#'s gone.

Start out slow, and increase the time by 5 minutes per wee****il you can do 30-45 minutes without stopping.  Don't worry about speed at first, just move.

PM me sometime, I would love to meet you in AC one day to get to know a Cheatham county lap bander and find an occasional walking parnter.
