I loaded myself up with good stuff before my walk

I was really afraid of getting a cramp or whatever it was again. I loaded myself up with COQ10. B12, Fish oil, (forgot the glucosamine) a cholesterol pill and my usual BP med, had a PBJ for energy and took a bottle of water with me for hydration. Voila no pain!. Just in case I also had a pain killer cream with lidocaine should I be stricken again. Walked about a mile and a half, not too far but I will work up to more like I did last year. I need to probably add another small hill though. Hopefully that cramp was a one time event.

Yes, wasn't quite sure what caused the issue, and wanted to be prepared on all fronts.

A mile and a half is a super walk to me. Way to go.

I’m glad to hear you didn’t get a cramp. I haven’t any appetite today with being nauseated. I did eat a piece of cake and a Klondike bar though since everyone else was having one. It upset myself more.

That's a handful of the good stuff before the walk, but if it works then its good. You got a pretty good walk in for distance.

Cramp is awful. I mostly get it when I'm in bed for some reason.

I do too once in awhile. I think it is from overstretching my leg.

That was a good walk and hopefully the cramp is just a one time event.

A mile and a half is a good walk. I walk a mile twice a day. I hope it was a one time thing.

Seems like it. I think I shouldn't push the envelope though, until I am ready to.

Yep, makes it better...I am getting back in the habit now, it helps to keep it pain free. It has only been the last two weeks that has really been cool enough to walk much, and of course we got affected by the hurricane for several days.

Oh that sounds really painful. Don't forget to keep hydrated too
