Temperatures in the 30s is a giant relief? Are you kidding? 70’s maybe.
I ran some errands and then went on a walk, longer than usual, and I didn’t think I was ever going to get home. I thought my head was going to fall off. My neck, back, sides and legs were killing me. Once I start hurting like that it’s only a matter of time that I have to sit down or I will collapse. Well I didn’t get home in time and I did collapse in the street and the nicest lady offered to drive me home but I crawled to someone's lawn and rested which I did several more times. I took a bunch of Percocet when I got home but it took several hours to be somewhat comfortable. I drug a bunch of my Christmas junk in and I wanted to start putting up my tree and decorating but that won't happen until tomorrow. No walk tomorrow!!!!!
I walked very close to 5 miles today.
Take care & bundle up. Maybe you kids that live in that horrible cold weather should get some of those clothing that heat up with batteries.
You gals take it easy and don’t freeze,
Jake

Sometimes my neck hurts from walking as it obviously moves around. It was making lots of noise yesterday. Snap, pop, crackle and crunching. I hate the crunchy noises. Occasionally I yelp!
Oh my goodness, @jakedduck1, were you trying to set a marathon record????? I have hypotension and get lightheaded if I stand or walk too long at a time. Can only imagine your what you experienced with your collapse and so grateful that a good samaritan (sp) offered to give you a lift. Glad you made it home in one piece and hope you rewarded yourself with a favorite bite of chocolate????
I'm 100% on your team with comments to those walking warriors that persist despite the frigid temps. Below 70 degrees and I bundle up like an Eskimo and then reward myself with a treat if I manage to get from street mailbox back inside without frostbite. Hope the Percocet brought quick relief but have to wonder if you might have been suffering from "sugar haze" in even attempting to consider decorating the tree so soon???? Smiles and take good care of our favorite "sugar guy"!

@jakedduck1. I'm with you. 70s is the ideal temperature for walking. I have been wearing two pairs of pants on my walk and I live in Southern California! 5 miles is alot, I haven't done that in many moons. I hope you are feeling better now, take care and be careful, no more walk till you drop please.
