Over several years of living with chronic pain, failed surgery on lower spine, falls with broken bones, my body and mind beaten down through time, walking just before sunrise on lighted walking path has made a huge difference in my mental and physical well being. I’ve taken many beautiful photographs on my daily walks, three times a week with the dogs, the other four alone so I can walk faster to get my heart rate up. I’m stronger, healthier mentally and physically today. Be safe, wear a whistle to create noise, carry pepper spray, walk on well traveled and lighted areas. I started out slowly a couple times a week and worked up to.my seven day routine over a year and seven months, and added more distance as I hit stronger. On bad pain days, I still walk, just slower and not as far, so I don’t lose the gains I’ve made. I hope you’ll be inspired to do like wise.
