The dr prescribed an NSAID for my hip, he said if it's not any better in 3 weeks he'll have to run an MRI to make sure there is no major damage. It's the hip I have osteoprosis in, and the one that was so damaged in that wreck back in 1993 that I will eventually have arthritis in it. I'm hoping there are no other problems and the NSAID will help.

four laps in 17:22. I didn't actually nap, but I was in the recliner most of the day relaxing ( Read more... )

Napping before I walk has a definite effect on my time. I walked my 4 (1/4 mile) laps in 17 minutes and 43 seconds this evening. 2 seconds better than my time last saturday when I took a nap before I walked. I think I'll try this experiment again tomorrow.

4 (1/4 mile) laps in 19 minutes, 14 seconds. Of course, it's been a week since I've done any serious walking. Hopefully I'll do better tomorrow.

I didn't go to the park to walk Sunday because we were going to a friend's house across the river. I didn't go to the park to walk last night, because I had company over here. I didn't go to the park to walk tonight because the Mini'Mione's and I had a Girl Scout Meeting, tomorrow night is church, and Thursday we go to the library. *sigh* ( Read more... )

I walked a mile in 17 minutes and 45 seconds, well over a minute faster than yesterday. I attribute this lesser time to two factors . . . I had nothing to eat an hour before I went to the park, and . . . I spent that hour napping :) I'm not sure if I will be able to repeat this experiment again before next saturday, as that would require me going ( Read more... )

There is a 1/4 mile concrete loop around the local park, so I try to walk that 4 times each evening (weather permiting).

I got a stop watch yesterday. So now I have an acurate time to work from. It took me 19:04 to walk a mile.

jan_aq has informed me: To walk a mile in 30 or 20 minutes is pretty high, a normal pace should get you closer to 14... ( Read more... )
