Okay so I had a question.

I’m starting tomorrow. I’ve added walking into my regiment now for awhile some really long walks. Like miles and miles a day. I used to run in the Army but that was MANY years ago and I’m definitely out of shape now. But have lost 60 pounds from dieting and am now at my goal weight.

Do you guys do this Indoors or outdoors? I belong to a gym. Unfortunately it’s been in the 90s here and I’ve been struggling to even walk must less run. I’m wondering if it would be worth it to do this indoors on a treadmill? Or better done outside? The heat really get to me. I get over heated very quickly since I had a heat stroke a few years ago. Also have you tried to do it both ways? Maybe I run inside until fall? Then run outside? Or with that be awful because I’m not used to running outside?

Also, how long does the whole program take? Just curious. I’m excited! I have been following here for awhile and you all are impressive as hell! I hope to be as good as you all one day! It’s really inspiring!

Okay I need some help lol. I keep getting blisters between my big toe and second toe on both feet. I’ve never worn wide shoes but does this mean I need wide shoes? My old sneakers did the same thing. But I got new brooks sneakers recently and they’re supposed to be good quality but now I have more blisters! It’s gotta be something with my feet.

Bigger shoes? Wider shoes? Any recommendations? They get pretty raw making it impossible to walk/run for more than 2 miles. I’m a women’s size 8 if that matters.

I’ve used moleskin for hiking but I’d rather not have to tape up my feet or anything on the daily run if I can avoid it.

Thoughts?

So let me start by saying on an average day I get about 1,000-2,000 steps a day. I work from home. 12 hours a day on my computer. These last two weeks for WHATEVER REASON. My husband and I started going on two walks a day. It wasn’t discussed it just kind of happened.

Fast forward to today! It’s been two weeks of two 45 mins or so walks everyday. It’s been so freeing! I get to be outside and smell the air. I’ve always been a homebody. In fact we live on a very popular trail. It’s in my backyard I literally see people walk it all day. But now IM one of those people!

My husbands starts a new job next week with more hours so I think I’m gonna have to start going solo. I’m a little nervous lol usually I have someone to chat with but maybe I’ll listen to an audio book idk!

Anywho… I’m love this guys! I stumbled across this page a few years ago and always thought maybe that would be me one day. Well it’s me today!

Thanks for the encouragement everyone!

Edit: I will admit today I got rained on during my walk. Happy I didn’t bring my phone as I was soaked by then end. But I saw a beautiful deer and rainbow!
