Overdid it just a bit

annathepiperI was stir-crazy and restless and wanting some fresh air, so I said to my beloved ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
solarbird, "I want to walk down to Lake Forest Park!" Now, those of you who read my journal on a regular basis will know that it's a two-mile walk from my house to LFP and back again. This felt kind of ambitious given that I am Recovery Girl, but I resolved to turn right around and come home the moment I felt shaky. Dara was willing to watch over me as I did this, so we gave it a go.
The walk down to LFP was the slowest we've ever taken it, and I had to in fact consciously make myself take it slowly. But I did in fact make it. By the time we got down there, though, I really needed to sit for a bit--two or three times. It was nevertheless pleasing to be able to run all of our errands, get me a smoothie, and take a slow walk through the Farmer's Market.
The trip back was a bit more difficult, since I was tireder at that point. The weird part was that we actually went faster on the way back than we did on the way there, and I took a bit of a rest once on the way. Dara gave me raspberries, and took my hat and my vest off, and even finally carried my purse for me. The moment we got home I curled up on the couch, while Dara got me my mid-day meds and a bagel sandwich.
mamishka is here now and we're going to watch The Dead Zone as soon as risu gets to a good breaking point with the video game she's playing. And Meems has brought me the Serenity #2 comic book, too. I feel tired... but mostly in a good way, like I've had a long day of physical activity. By my current terms, I have. I'm going to be taking it very easy for the rest of the day.
Saturday miles: 0.1
Sunday miles: 2.0
Miles out of Hobbiton: 321.7
Miles to Rivendell: 136.3
