It's getting to that time of year when I'd rather not be out walking at all, but I'm going to try something weird tonight: At 8:30, I'm going to step out and take a late-evening walk. Keep in mind that I normally prefer to do walks when my meds are still free-floating in my bloodstream, and since I take my meds in the morning, I prefer to do walks in the morning or very early afternoon. And normally, this sort of timing is good for me; any chest pain is minimal or nonexistent. But today, I took my meds in the morning, and I'm about to step out for a nighttime walk. All I ate today was a random handful of cashews (as penance for the awful thing I'd done to myself yesterday), so I think I ought to be good. Eating a lot and then walking is a bad move for me, a sure way to get angina (which is why I rested after yesterday's foodfest), but my stomach right now is pretty empty, and walking in a fasted state is the new, trendy thing (alongside Japanese-style power walking).
Basically, with the weather getting hotter, even the under-the-bridge shadows won't protect me from the ambient heat of the day, so I'm going to have to start walking either in the early morning or in the evening. So tonight's an experiment on several levels.
If I start walking and get chest pains, you can be sure I'll stop, rest, then turn around.
Don'chu worry none.
