Walking

I am going down to try and see if I can walk for a while today. I hope I can, I need it badly. It is so disappointing when I have those days where my "shortness of breath" interferes too much with whatever I do. So, if I can walk a bit today, it would make me very, very happy. Will let you know later. Enjoy your Sunday.

@amadeo, I could only do 10 minutes and was walking like a snail. But at least, I did that.

@LadyDuck , I don't know if it is good, but that is the best I could do this morning. A far cry from the before days.

I hope that you're able to get out for a bit today. Watch the sky, they are forecasting rain here, so I don't know if you'll be getting any or not. It cleared here earlier, but its overcast again. I managed a very short 2 km walk just now. Its so cold and damp, I just couldn't do any more.

So happy for you that you could do a 2 km walk OUTSIDE. I only did 10 minutes indoor which is not the same at all.

Almost two weeks of coughing, I'm starting to feel more like normal. I've walked quite a bit the last few days with my house guests. Tuesday will involve a fair amount of sitting, but hopefully I can still get out and walk, and that the weather will cooperate.

Try to be slow. Go as per how much you can walk and then rest for a while and then continue.

@Ronrybs , We have a huge basement with concrete floors, so that is good for doing walks and the kids and my husband used to play hockey with roller skates there and 2 big nets. They had such a good time.

It's good that you're starting with it. It will definitely help. Go slow and start with short duration. You will be able to do it.

I know what you are going through with your shortness of breath. I have COPD and it is no fun. I do try to walk some every day. Chasing my granddaughter around helps a bunch. LOL

@marlina I have had it for years. I deal with it pretty good and my doctor keeps on top of it. I am thankful for that. I have to keep active so it doesn't over take me.
