Woke up early...too early! I wanted to get my walk done though so I took off. I did 6 miles. I added some slight running in there. Not a lot, just like a few strides up some of the hills. By the end of the sixth mile, my legs were really tired. I'm glad I got it done. I almost dropped though lol. Not literally, I was just so tired and dehydrated. I hadn't drank any water before I left so at the end of my walk, I was super thirsty. I came home and Lisa got me a big cup of water. One little tip that I'd like to share, for those who may not know, if you're in the middle of your workout, don't drink too much water. No matter how thirsty you are, drink slow and don't drink too much. Seriously, that'll really screw up your workout! It practically slows down your body so it's hard to really finish out anything. Even if you're done, don't drink a whole lot of water. I've done that and it will actually hurt your stomach for a bit by getting too much water in there. Just go easy!
Well, my left knee was really bothering me today. It's not actually my knee, it's a small spot below it, over toward the side. Lisa says she thinks it's the part of the knee that connects the tendon down to my foot. It was really aching today! We went to town this afternoon and I bought a couple of movies, Sabatoge and Transcendence. We watched them and the whole movie, I was sitting on the floor stretching out my leg. Dang it was really bothering me. I decided that if it's still hurting tomorrow, I'm taking a rest day! That 6 miles really gets tough and with the way my knee is feeling, walking that entire walk, that's really gonna make it hurt. So yeah, we'll see what happens.
Ok, that's all for today! I'm feeling good and Lisa says it really looks like I'm dropping weight. She's very happy for me. I am too, though I'm not done until I'm done, and even after that, my health watch will never stop. Goodnight!
