Walking made me tired, but..

When we biked 5.8 miles and just after that walked 2.5 miles on last Friday, we felt happy to have done something that was a new challenge.  But the next day we were totally in pain and stayed at home all day.

So today we walked first and drank water, ate a boiled egg, then biked.  
We barely could pedal at the beginning after 2.2 miles walk, so later we had some sprints for short distances to make up the average speed.  Biked 5.7 miles, aver. 8.1mph.  It came out slower than Friday, 5.8 miles, aver. 8.7mph.
We both got really tired, even though we did it in the morning.

After we took a half hour nap, we felt better.  The pain is still with me though.
At least we might survive another heat wave a little easier this afternoon.

I hope I will find a better way or right way to walk, so I might be able to reduce pain afterwards. 😒

Rain, over rain, and rain...

Yesterday morning we had a nice break, so I walked with my friend.  She told me how high the creek water came up a day before in the late afternoon when she saw it.  And next morning we saw lowered water together.

But an hour later when I and Mr. WhP  rode bikes and stopped to see the creek water, it had increased quite a bit. 

Then, it started raining through the night.  And next day today, it has been raining all day without break.

We did stretch and other TV exercise, but our body, especially legs, knees, and feet are still sore from yesterday's walking and biking.
But we were happy that we could ride a little bit yesterday.
And so far our neighborhood is OK from water damage.

I pray for the windy rain passing through without causing too much damage and drew and colored a new year Animal, Rooster.

 
 

Pre-conditioning made it easier.

Yesterday morning I couldn't even walk in the morning, but next morning I had to walk with my friend, so I got an idea.

Mr.WhP and I walked  last night in the cold air for almost an hour.  Because the air was clear, luckily, and Xmas light decorations were fun to watch the walk was quite fun.

This morning was 30F again, but I went for a walk.  My friend and I were screaming a little to move our arms and upper bodies, because it was freezing at the beginning.
Then we got used it, and started enjoying the frosty scenery.

Tomorrow Mr. WhP and I made a plan for bicycling.  Hope my walking exercise will bring good results.
