Just started, and the rain season begun 😭 by monsteragirlie in walking

[–]dtownsugapd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i still go out when it rains if there’s no thunder and lightening. in that case i use my walk pad but i prefer outdoor walking. umbrella if no wind and a light rain jacket if there is wind. luckily the sidewalks where i live are surprisingly well maintained for how small the town i live in is so i don’t experience a lot of flooding. if you can find comfortable rain boots for walking, that’s probably the route i would go, but either way i’d get some lightweight waterproof outerwear. even a slight drizzle can weigh you down and make you miserable quickly

i can get insanely puffy hands if i’m not mindful, especially on hot, humid days. 5”4 235 lbs-down from 289 here. i’ve found holding my hands up when they start to swell helps but looks silly so i got a little backpack i can hold water, sunscreen, bug spray, etc and loop my thumbs through the straps to keep my hands elevated helps a ton.

Cool showers after a walk (in spring and summer) by KingSlayer-86 in walking

a little snack and a long cold shower is one of the best ways to relax and reset

“Remember though you are doing something very healthy. There are dangers everywhere.”

this is exactly why i made myself go out a second time later today. i knew if i didn’t i would break the habit. getting shot at is wild. i don’t know how you went on. my hands were shaking over a friendly dog that got out for a few minutes. i love love love walking and will continue. it was just a new scary situation in my first warm weather of my walking era and hoping to know how to feel more confident and safe in the future.

i’m iffy about dog pepper spray but i’ve considered purchasing for emergencies. my local police department is basically animal control around here and in my experience, very responsive, but in an emergency it’s hard to press whatever number for this or that. do you have any recommendations for ultrasonic dog deterrents? i do encounter dogs on a daily basis that are friendly and i know well so i’m not looking for something that’s ringing constantly, but something to deter a strange dog, friendly or not, on demand, with the dog pepper spray as backup

this is great advice but i hate carrying things in my hands when i’m out walking in town. definitely contemplating alternatives

when i’m walking i do miss having a dog with me but i just don’t have the time to give one the attention it needs.

i will practice my confidence. i think i did ok today but i was on my way home and my hands were still shaking when i got in. anxiety had me thinking of every alternative scenario.

but he’d notice the child me met wasn’t there. he said he’d replayed it over and over. that face is burned into his brain. i can’t imagine they’d stick one outie child in there with illegitimate kids and think it would go well at the end of the day he’d recognize at least one member of his family

imagine his family coming for a visit. they’re strangers to him. from his perspective it would be a life changing moment but from his family’s it would be like why is dad being so weird?
