Injury question

If you have a sore calf muscle that cramps up every time you go walking, what do you do? I read somewhere that it might have to do something with dehydration or lack of potasium. But I eat one banana a day and I am drinking plenty of water. Should I be patient? Keep in mind, this is my favorite exercise. Your thoughts...

Small sacrifices

Today I went for my walk. I finally found out that the night walk is exactly three miles long and the morning walk is 2.8 miles. Easily resolved, a walk around my block either before or after the big walk in the morning completes the three miles. That is not the small sacrifice I am referring to. Today again, the Water company decided to take the water away from my town. We walked at 8:30 AM. It is now 9:20 PM and NOW I can go and shower. It's a good thing I don't have a job yet because I really needed the exercise, and I really stink right now. I did not walk tonight though, because I did not know when we were going to get the water back. Sometimes you don't mind a little stench, but going to bed all nasty... not going to happen.

Every little bit counts

Today, even though I did not get any sleep last night (insomnia), I took Anna to school by walking. I walked half way (0.6 miles) and then walked back. She walked the way up and down (which is aprox. 1.2 miles). Tonight we plan on doing our walk, which adds another 3 miles to the daily totals. The important thing is that every walk adds a little more to our weekly totals. Last week we had 13 miles. I think I got a little too excited and ended up hurting myself. But this week we are taking it slow and steady because our goal is to walk 20 miles this week. Wish me luck!!!
