Walking Outside 1/29/2022

Not good.

I finally went outside for a walk. It has been a long time since I walked outdoors instead of using the treadmill in the garage. It definitely felt much harder than before. My legs were numb and sore after the first few blocks, and I was running out of breath near the middle of the walk. I was surprised that the pace was fairly high (for me); it felt much slower during the walk. My heart rate also increased more than before where I would only hit low-80’s. This must be from all the recent weight gain, and not walking consistently for the past few months.

I walked a mile on the treadmill last week and it did not feel this tiring. I hope some of the tiredness is from the Moderna vaccine shot on Thursday, but I need to walk more consistently, especially if we are still going to Europe in June.
