What am I doing? Am I crazy? Well, not that crazy...

So, I've decided to join in with @aussieninja's Movement Month challenge. Though I didn't feel that I could do even the lowest distance (Team Red/Vegan - 50 km) as a walker, so I suggested Team Pink, with half the Red content at 25 km. (updated list in the more recent update )

And then I had the fun of my hip doing it's thing, which I know slows me up quite a bit, as well as requiring rest. Glad I didn't push for the 50 km, especially when joining 9 days into the month!

On the plus side, and the actual progress being made side - Today I walked the minimum distance to get to and from my gaming group. 2.1 km. I also decided that I can count last week's walk at the minimum distance also, so I'll log 3/5 - 2.1 km and 10/5 2.1 km. I can't reliably know how much walking we did in the pool last week so I'm not counting it. It's also likely only 150 - 200 m, so not really worth that much in a distance thing, but it is something else I've been doing.

With 4.2 of 25 down, I'm hoping to get out and do some actual walking just for the point of walking at least twice a week, and preferably 3 times. I think the distance is well in reach, but I just need a week where I'm busy with other things or unwell for me not to get to the target.

If I ever run into my housemate, and she lets me borrow her bike, and I can actually ride it, well, the distance won't be an issue since I'll go for a 5-10 km ride once a week.

Progress is progress, keep it up!!! Awesome

Thanks for the encouragement

Aww, I smiled through the whole piece. I appreciate how you record the distances and account for what you did so thoroughly. Very Ratticus as I’ve come to know him. :)

Anyway, I’m just so pleased you decided to participate and that you’re doing what you’re able to at this point. Hopefully, there’s something you can do to prevent the hip popping business and you slowly build your fitness base!

Go Ratty Rat, Rat! ❤️

Well it's been good for a while, so I'm hoping it's not going into a new round of regularly misbehaving. From talks I've had with Drs and specialists in the past, not much asides from a reco or replacement will change it.

Take it easy and I can get distance done, but it's not really exercise so much as just getting out and walking. If I'm exercising, I'm going at 5.5=6 km/hr (11 - 10 min kilometers). All the walking so far have been at closer to 14 - 15 min/km (4 km/hr).

I'll likely do another update around Tuesday

Interesting story. Know steemit
