Last week I attempted to resume my running workouts after nursing a torn achilles. I've been an avid runner for approx. 33 years, more recently I've had to curtail my running to walking instead because of right knee pain from two knee surgeries & contstant impact on concrete. Wow! I used to believe walking was for old people, but my thoughts have definitely changed. Walking is actually better for me in the long run for a number of reasons.
- Less stress on the body
- Less impact on joints
- No pain, all gain
- Can do with others and get to know people
- Can meditate and pray while doing
- Easier to sustain for longevity
- Enjoy the details of life instead of watching it pass you by
- What's the rush anyway?
- Cheaper for keeping your shoes longer
- Can do anytime and mostly anywhere
So for all you old head runners out there with bad joints be advised it is ok to Walk, just
Keep It Moving!
