UPDATE ON MY walking

Hello!!  If you have been keeping up with me, then you know I have been timing my walking laps around our local park and sharing those times with you. I am also walking indoors at home. I walk laps with my walker to exaggerate my thigh raise-ups and then I walk laps with my walker to accelerate my gait. After I do both of those, I walk without the walker and time my walking laps from my back door to my front door!

So here’s a recap of my timed walking laps at the park.
  • Monday, 5/20
    • 1st lap     4:16 minutes
    • 2nd lap    4:11 minutes
  • Saturday, 5/18
    • 1st lap     4:40 minutes
    • 2nd lap    4:36 minutes
  • Friday, 5/17
    • 1st lap     4:56 minutes
    • 2nd lap    5:05 minutes
  • Sunday, 5/12
    • 1st lap     4:56 minutes
    • 2nd lap    4:49 minutes
  • Thursday, 5/9
    • 1st lap     4:57 minutes
    • 2nd lap    4:50 minutes
  • Sunday, 5/5
    • 1st lap     5:36 minutes
    • 2nd lap    5:09 minutes
  • Saturday, 5/4
    • 1st lap      5:44 minutes
    • 2nd lap     5:23 minutes
  • Friday, 5/3
    • 1st lap     6:36 minutes
    • 2nd lap    6:04 minutes

I increased my number of laps from 2 to 3 at the beginning of May and again from 3 laps to 4 laps at the middle of May. I am still timing only the first 2 laps, but I plan to time 3 laps at the beginning of June. I really enjoy these walks at the park!! I interact with other people and, if they have any, I pet their dogs!!

When it’s too windy or too cold to go to the park for my walk, I walk my laps at home.  When walking at home, I do so without my walker or even my cane.  Today was too windy to go to the park, so I did my 10 laps at home. It was incredible!!

Here’s a recap of my timed 10 laps walking indoors (without the cane or walker):
  • Tuesday, 5/21          6:09 minutes
  • Monday, 5/20           7:10 minutes
  • Sunday, 5/19            7:13 minutes (note, with knee brace)
  • Thursday, 5/16         7:30 minutes
  • Wednesday, 5/15     7:27 minutes
  • Saturday, 5/11          7:17 minutes
  • Friday,  5/10              7:37 minutes
  • Wednesday, 5/8        8:46 minutes

GOD BLESS! PEG
