It occurred to me that we started walking a whole year ago. And we’ve been under masking and stay at home and social distancing orders forever! But we’re still walking and doing home exercises and swimming (and eating). Give yourselves a pat on the back! Now is also the time to find some of members who just kept right on walking. Where are you @lioness and @1065408 and @starko and @merpreb and @mayofeb2020 and @gingerw and @jakedduck1 ? Come walk with us!

@becsbuddy, A Huge Salute to You, Becky for starting this group. A year later and 215 pages of posts and countless recountings of adventures that kept us all motivated and inspired. Methinks a 1 Yr Anniversary Party is called for. Maybe we could all congregate virtually in our favorite "destination locale" for a celebration????
@becsbuddy. Wow, has it been a year already? Well, I'm still walking, but due to my back and hip problems, I'm not walking as much as I used to. I have a new PCP this year and not sure if I can still go back to the same orthopedic doctor's as I used to go to last year. Now that I'm vaccinated, I feel more comfortable about going back to PT. I'm catching up with my health issues now. Have to go see a periodontist soon. I feel like I'm falling apart. Fortunately my recent blood test showed everything is in order, that's a relief. I guess I can only go one day at a time. The weather here in southern California has been good, random days of rain is nothing compared to the weather many of you are experiencing. I shall not complain. I will keep walking as long as I can. Hope you're all well.
Hi All. Been dealing with additional medical problems...oxygen 24/7 mid-year and pneumonia November/December. Through the grace of God I’ve been given a new lease on life. Read the posts daily, enjoying them all. Restarted walking in December (hallways), walking laps in two sections daily, twice a day. Each lap is 0.09 mile, and depending on the day, walk close to a mile daily. Also getting in two manual breathing treatments, nebulizing and the compression vest, as well as arm exercises for breast cancer. Whew, now I’m exhausted. Takes a large part of each day. Haven’t felt this good in two years. I’m truly blessed.
@becsbuddy
I haven’t been riding much here because I haven’t been very active. I’m usually most active when I go somewhere and walk around parking lots but I haven’t been out for a while.
I walked around the block two or three times and some days the best I do is walk around the house and take the garbage out which is a pretty pathetic walk.
I will try and be a little more energetic.
