Walking. But NOT 10,000 steps a day! I did do that everyday when I first moved here (have always hiked and walked a lot, but never counted steps before that) and I ended up with foot pain that has lasted for the past few years. Many doctors and physical therapists later and I am finally back on the trails again but now I walk just until it feels right. We are all different and have different quotas. I wish I had listened to my body sooner. Even with twinges of aching in my feet I would keep going. If you have had an injury or illness or even exhaustion from keeping going, remember to rest and know that the trails are waiting for you when you’re ready. Take it all in stride so to speak! I feel grateful that my walks are coinciding with thimbleberry season right now! #youareamazing #justkeepswimming #believeinyourself
