I'm glad that you let yourself walk easy and not feel like you had to push so hard every time you walk :) That is interesting about the endurance aspect... maybe I should work in some more moderate minutes instead of the hard ones. I'd like to stick to the 80/20 ratio, but perhaps that won't be ideal for Katie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733849582309631730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-55436907028151182342019-06-16T15:37:34.972-04:002019-06-16T15:37:34.972-04:00Hi Katie!

I loved checking off each day. I followed it almost to a tee but some weeks I used a rest day to walk because I felt like it!! I have been a walker for just about 30 years now. I was power walking when power walking wasnt cool!! But it was a Free to travelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07345824257474312272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-66961867075773374072019-05-08T12:18:37.571-04:002019-05-08T12:18:37.571-04:00I'm on week 4 and enjoying it.

Always on the lookout for ideas to help me become the healthiest I can be. You've been an inspiration to me my entire SparkJourney (6.5 years and counting) because I found your goodness there and it led me here. You're proof it can be done and that one-size/way-does-not-have-to-fit-all.

I thought I should jump into a running program since I have a long was to go and needed a "kick in the butt" but on my first run I realized that it was too much impact on my joint and I felt defeated.

As of today, I'm on a 361 day exercise streak (yep--almost a full year)- I only took one day off when I was legit sick (fever/chills/in bed), otherwise I did a Minimum 30 minutes every day. I've varied with walking, biking, swimming, circuit training, yoga. I love love walking. I know I've lost inches and about 20 pounds.

I don't know that it is reasonable for me, as my most accessible walking area is logging roads, which, between the hills and the uneven surface, makes the walk a lot harder to control in terms of intensity. Some areas are much too uneven to safely walk fast, while others are so steep you (or at least I) need to walk slow, either to not fall on the downhill, or to even make K-Koirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933780350863090595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-84784303080220006222019-03-25T00:49:15.248-04:002019-03-25T00:49:15.248-04:00I will try it!
