Despite the pain I’ve experienced this week, I’ve made over 8,000 steps per day!
We had to go to the VA two days in a row (long story) therefore I missed walking classes two days. However, yesterday we walked at Pine Glades, and today -the worst day by far- I still managed over 8,000 just around here!
I’ve recently (last night) purchased and received a new pair of barefoot shoes by Hike and I love them!! They are so darn comfy right out of the box.
They have a wide toe box, breathable, quick-drying fabric all around, are waterproof and weigh almost nothing. There are said to reconnect your “grounding” and align your spine, strengthen your legs and ankles, relieve pain in feet, and possibly legs and hips.
I’ll keep you posted on that. They were affordable too! With tax, the cost was around $32. I figured I’d give them a try, what could it hurt.
Also, Mrs Merhling (Anne to most of us) and I got connected on Life360. Now I can see her walks. We are still working on my end trying to figure out why it won’t recorded my walks unless they are outside of this resort! So frustrating.
Anyway, its an app as you might have guessed. You create circles with others you know who walk and want to share, or keep each other accountable, whatever. It also shows your car trips. We thought it woukd be fun, and she has been using it for a while. I know she blogged about it over on Merhling Muse, her blog.
