Two of my old friends are back. Mister Arthritis and symptoms of Peripheral Artery Disease. Strenuous exercise like Racewalking causes my calves to really hurt but I'm working through it. Arthritis is attacking my hamstrings. How fast I will be able to Racewalk is my big racing question.
Friday the 21st of May was a bright sun shiny day so I walked the Mattapoisett 5 mile course at a 20 minute mile pace. Total time was 1 hour and 40 minutes. My legs hurt at a level 2 on a scale of 10. Now that I know I can go the distance, speed training and stamina are my training goals.
I'm hoping that my vascular doctor will give me something that will minimize the leg pain and I will be able to train to have a respectable race finish time on the 4th of July.
