Walking Sometimes Happens

I've gone on a few walks since I last updated. Nothing major. Nothing as long as what I've posted about. More often short walks about a mile long. The walks haven't been bad, but for the past three weeks I've been doing therapeutic yoga, where therapeutic means torturous. Of course, since I judge the success of an activity by how badly it messes my ankle up afterwards, the yoga is a clear winner for helping me. I'm definitely making a lot of progress from the yoga at the expense of being crippled after the sessions. The last session on Sunday hurt my right foot too, so I've been limping on both of them. (It was a massive toe cramp.)

I feel like I'm on the cusp of being all fixed. Stair don't quite work out like they did before this happened, but they work out pretty well compared to how they have been working out these past few months. Walking sometimes happens naturally and fluidly. I did a little left-footed warrior-3 in yoga. (I flailed around like a tentacle covered Lovecraftian windmill though.)

Jogging!

Tonight I went out for about 1/2 a mile walking. I did two warm up jogs of maybe a handful of yards each. Then, about the 1/4 mile point, I jogged for 100 steps. It isn't far I know, but I'm certain my ankle will tell me it was a terrible idea tomorrow. I'm also certain that my ankle will improve a lot by next week because of the pain I caused it.

No pain baby, no gain, no pain no gain.

Walking: harder

It is harder to walk tonight than it was last night. I obviously did some good on that last long walk, but I need to wait before I try again.

Not Walking

I need to go to Wal*Mart. I know I can walk that far, but I just walked last night and it was hard to walk today. I don't think I should taunt the ankle by being so hard on it twice in a row. So I think I'll bicycle there.

Walking: hard

Well, the walk paid off in pain. I can barely walk today. There isn't any swelling this morning though, which is good.

A Longer Walk

I took a longer walk tonight than the last one I posted about. Not much longer though. It went much better for me than the last walk. My ankle hurts now though, but there is almost no swelling.

.275 decamiles!

I walked .275 decamiles tonight. Around the middle I really thought I was about to collapse because my left leg just wasn't able to hold me up. But it got better. I did rest some though, at El Camino, a little more than half way through my trip. We'll see if I can walk tomorrow now.
