I actually hit my goal for steps! 71,243 steps for the week, and 31 miles. I guarantee I won't be hitting that this week, because in the process, I managed to overstress my foot again. I guess I still need to be pretty cautious with it. The most fun day walking, was the day that my friend and I took our kids for a horseback ride. The kids rode, and my friend and I walked and walked. One of these days I will get back to where I can ride again.
Since I can't walk any distance right now, I am back to my DDP Yoga. Not that I ever left it! Just that it is my primary focus again. Stand Up is really helping my balance. A lot of people ask about modifications for needing to be on their knees in yoga. I couldn't put any weight at all on my kneecaps when I started out. My knees had a lot of inflammation, and it was very painful. So what I did was use a folded up towel. I put it across my mat, so that my weight rested below my kneecaps, at the very top of my shinbones. I didn't need to use that particular modification for very long before my knees stopped hurting and the inflammation went down.
