I am amazed at how different I feel after my break away last week. Before I went I was struggling to do much walking and felt far too tired to go out on my normal two mile route each day. However, even after a three hour drive I was out straight away and on the beach walking for an hour and then back to unpack my cases and off over the cliffs for a quick meander as well. This continued all week and I felt so energised. I am not saying that it is all in the mind, the tiredness, but I am trying to hold on to the positive feel and force myself to walk everyday.
When I was first recovering with fibro I would set myself little walking targets. Before fibro I would walk around four miles a day, fast walk, but a year after I developed it I couldn't even get to the postbox at the end of the road. I started off walking for five minutes away from home and then five minutes back and eventually built it up. I have never got past my two miles though but I do walk it in just under half an hour which is fast walking. Start slowly and see how you get on.
