    "Well, I did it again and failed to post more often as was my goal to do. I am sorry that I wasn't here. I have read your posts for this month, and everyone did so well! Congratulations on all the amazing goals met or exceeded as well as every mile or minute done toward a goal no matter the end result. You all are super-stars!

    I did do my best to be active every non rest day and to increase walking times or intensity as tolerated when walking outdoors. But it has been hard because my ankle(s)/ feet are not doing well, although compared to when this started in December they are doing better, in some ways. I'm grateful that they are definitely not constantly as painful. But it has been discouraging because not being able to do aerobic type of exercise (like LS miles) or walk outdoors like I used to do has been very difficult for me.
    Leslie talks about the benefits of the increased endorphins we get while exercising, and I'm so lacking in that area now and have to fight to not slip into increasing discouragement. Working outdoors as tolerated these past months has been extremely helpful. But sitting more has definitely not been good for me physically or mentally, but needed way too often. I am hoping to change things up next month, if possible, since most of the specific garden/ yard projects are finished. It will be mostly maintenance or finding something that I can add in or do outside somewhere. And of course our summer heat will be upon us soon. May had been unusually wet and cooler for us this year!! It was wonderful! I'll be working on finding more indoor projects for the summer, and I'm going to try out something different so that I can increase my exercise inside. Walking outside has been hard on my feet/ ankles. But I need to continue to build back up my endurance stamina... so I will continue.
    We're forecast to finally break into triple digit heat ☀🌡 this week :sweat: oh, my :sweat_smile: . So I will have to get back into planning outdoors work or walking for very early morning again. I love the very early mornings outside during the hot summer/ early autumn months.
    See you all in June..."

    Hello Mary,

    I'm sorry your ankles are making it difficult to do the things you love. But you were no slouch last month, that's obvious. Soon you will have your stamina and be able to do more. I know you enjoyed that un-Texas like weather in May.
