That's right, me!

I downloaded the MapMyWalk app for my phone and used it last night when I went for my walk.  I went 3.11kms so I decided today I would aim for 4km.  By the time I got to my pre-appointed spot where I would keep walking if I hadn't walked enough or start heading home if I had, I had already walked 4.87km.  Tottally surprised I told myself that I might as well try and make it to 5km.
By the time I was two houses away from my house I had walked 5.67 so I did a lap of the neightbourhood and brought my total up to 6.13km!

It feels great! Never did I think I would be walking this much, just because I felt like it. 

I plan on going out again this evening for another walk and will try and keep this plan of two walks a day.  Next time though, I think I will wear a warmer sweater though!

Yes, same as me.  Pre-op, even if I was able to walk that much, I would have been sweating bucket!  Today I did work up a little bit of a sweat, but that was only towards to end when I was being sheltered from the breeze a bit.
