Hey Brian! That really depends on a bunch of variables – I have made it on a 6 mile hike – a few months ago, but that took a lot of training. Daily I walk between 2 and 4 miles depending on my legs (and these days – time, since I’m kinda getting busy:) On my walks I can only go a block two and then I need to stop and stretch my muscles – because the pain jumps off the charts with exercise and stretching helps alleviate some of the pain but also distracts my mind from the pain so that I can then keep walking. I don’t need to stretch for long but I do need to do it often. Which is why I often joke that I must look like a loon to the neighbors – imagine 4 miles of walk a block or two stop stretch in all sorts of weird and strange ways – walk a block or two, stop and stretch again…:) BUT it is what it takes these days for me to walk – so I’ll continue to look like a crazy lady until we move up North where I can do my walking and stretching with nature watching, not neighbors:)

XOXO!
Meg

I am and have always been the queen of distraction – just ask my children:)

I am so happy that you are on a similar journey Jan! Someday hopefully our paths will cross!

Cheers!
Meg
