About a year ago, I got motivated to start taking care of myself after 25 years as a couch potato. Started walking, took a strength training class, realized walking wasn’t enough (but still too heavy to jog), started climbing some hilly streets, found a nature center I never knew about, found some trails above the nature center – now I am hiking 3 or 4 days a week, 3 miles minimum, up to 6 or 7 miles max so far – loving it! Definitely outside my comfort zone – then I realized maybe the hikes I was doing, at the same locations, were just a NEW comfort zone – so I will continue to find NEW locations. DOing this alone – but am looking for hiking groups, etc. But I like the alone part as well.
