Comments:
I walked fewer miles/week this in month because I was tired and
I aborted twp of my rest walks. My wife (Judy) was glad I aborted the walks and
that I didn't try to do the distance that I had planned. Towards the end of the month the temperature was below freezing and the wind was blowing. It was very cold! My legs got awfully tired, although I completed the distance in my goals. Later, my legs felt fine for abut 0.2 miles and then they started getting tired. During the following weeks, my legs were fine, because I drank more water the day before and after my walks. We had company towards the end of the third week of the month, I went running after the company left, and my legs were very tired. We had about 12 inches of snow after the company left, and I didn't walk during that time to give my legs a good rest. I felt weak, though, the whole week. Judy and two neighbors, Mr. Cox and Brother McDonald, they have snow blowers, removed the snow from our driveway and the sidewalk in front of our house. I didn't walk much during the days of snow and cold. Not walking gave my legs extra rest. I have not been doing stretches after the walks and this omission finally caught up with me. My legs felt like I was walking for the first time. I didn't walk for a couple of days and the I started walking again, although at a shorter distance.
