Weekly summary -- 0.2 mile this week

I'm taking new medicine to lower my PSA, and only went out walking one time this week for 0.2 mile total. The medicine makes me weaker.

Weekly summary -- about 1.62 miles this week

I forgot to keep accurate distance figures, but this was a very low distance week. I felt very weak and needed a lot of rest.

Weekly summary -- 2.86 miles this week

This was a low mileage week. I'm still in need of additional rest.

Walking 5 days per week with a rest day before and one rest day after my long walk has served me well as a younger person. But, as I've gotten older, I think I need less walking and more rest. So, starting with the upcoming week, I'm going to walk four (4) days with two (2) rest days before my long walk and one rest day after my long walk. The two rest days before my long walk on Saturday, will be Thursday and Friday, and my rest day after my long walk will be Sunday, my Sabbath. Here is the week I propose.

Monday:      Rest walk of 0.62 miles (1 east loop)
Tuesday:      Rest walk of 0.62 miles (1 east loop)
Wednesday: Medium walk of 1.22 miles (1 east loop and 1 west loop)
Thursday:    Rest day
Friday:         Rest day
Saturday:    Long walk of 1.84 miles (2 east loops and 1 west loop)

Total distance for the week:  4.30 miles

As I get used to the numbers shown above, I will slowly increase my distance. I would like to walk longer distances, but I need appropriate rest to recover from the longer walks.
