A funny thing has happened!

A month or so ago I would be limping by mid day as a result of the Nodules on the bottom and side of my right foot. I knew that the more I use my joints with out hurting them the healthier they would stay. So we started a walking program to get ready for The Arthritis Walk in Duluth on May 19th. The funny thing is since I’ve been walking about 1 mile a day my limp has just about vanished and may be doing the same to the Nodules! How about that. I believe that I will continue to walk the rest of my days. It may seem like a small victory But I feel like I have beat a mobility issue that was looking down my throat.

Arthritis Walk in Duluth is 18 weeks away!

Last year I did it with out any preparation! Not this year! I’ve started training by walking daily I’m at about 1.75 miles a day and plan to get it closer to 3 miles a day ASAP. I’m also on a healthier diet.

I guess you could say I got really mad at RA and decided I was going win and not let it beat me. I have taken a personal challenge to do so. We watched the last season of the Biggest Looser, I’ve decided if Erik the winner who lost 214 lbs could do it why couldn’t I get my self in better shape.

If there is any one out there who is reading this I have a challenge for you. Get up and go for a walk and get in better shape we only live once.

Also remember the Arthritis Walk is a National event check out Arthritis Foundations Web site at http://www.arthritis.org/events/arthritiswalk/default.asp To find a walk near you.
