Day 191 - First "long" walk

Well I went for a walk yesterday with T to GG and it was pleasant through the first half, but the second half I was in a little pain.  As most everyone knows going uphill is much easier on ones knees then going downhill especially with 110 pound dog pulling you.

So we ended up going four miles in 75 minutes, a little slower then I would like, but what can I say - I tried.  I don't think I am ever going to get to the 4 miles an hour mark, and in group I hear about people going four miles an hour and I get a little jealous.  But they are doing it on a treadmill - is it easier to go faster on a treadmill?

So I thought it would be my foot that hurt, but it is my knees that have been hurting.  I am wondering - maybe I do have bad knees, that would be horrible.  After watching Big D go through her knee surgery, I don't ever want to have it.  It might be too late, being as heavy as I am I might have screwed up my knees forever.  Dang.

My foot is still a bit stiff, but I have been stretching it out and the swimming helped I think.  It still doesn't seem to have the full range of motion as my other foot, but maybe that is just perception.

Oh well I will just have to walk it out.
