another tiny step

 

 

Another tiny step on my road to recovery. I signed up for, and did, the whole Milly workout and am here to tell the tale. I couldn't really tell if my heart rate went up because it's always up, what's a little more? Pat actually struggled more than I did. It's been since Labor Day that wither of us has done this. Now I need to go in and sign up for the next few weeks.

I'm also signed up for the Chair Stretch and Strength class in Alaska this afternoon. Once school starts I'll have to stop that one. And finally, I'm signed up for chair yoga on Friday. Although all very good for me they are stalling attempts. I need to get back out there walking. But I'm scared. And fear paralyzes me. So maybe dancing around walking is my jam until February. Then all bets are off. I gotta do it.

Why? I'm signed up for the walking festival at the end of May in Canada. I have to be able to do at least a 5K of each of the walks or why bother going? I'm going with a group from PAWs and they are already planning carpools. Once they have worked out how they are driving I'll need to pick a Park and Ride for them to grab me at. By looking at the maps, if they come up the Turnpike they'll grab me in Q'town.  Or better, if they head west via 78, they'll pick me up at the Rt 33 Park and Ride because that's how they'll head north. Both routes are 6 hours plus change and converge in Scranton.

Tomorrow is the Volkssport walk in south Bethlehem. I'm going to try and do part of it. But not the hills. Maybe just the Greenway for a couple blocks, turn around and come back.

One day at a time. Any tips for conquering fear?
