Progress!

I went for my daily walk today and realized after about a mile that I wasn't tired at all. My legs weren't hurting or anything. Even after almost 2 miles I was feeling pretty good. Score!

The only thing is, my lungs were exhausted. I was breathing hard. I sounded like a horse! I started really concentrating on breathing deep and that seemed to help. I'm wondering, am I doing something wrong or should I just give it some more time? How long before a walk around the park doesn't have me out of breath?

I don't know the science behind walking, but given that you went from a sedentry (sp?) lifestyle and are progressing toward an active lifestyle... I'd say it might take a while. Focus on the progress you've made so far. No leg pain is a great goal!
I'm so proud of you!!!
