Hiking

[Catrin]

Thanks, catrin, me too!

So we encourage each other to keep putting one foot in front of the other

While I'm still getting occasional cramping, I am (very carefully) getting back into walking. Very conservative distances so far and not yet on dirt. I've also been researching the role of calcium, magnesium, and Vitamin D (and potassium of course). I passed the vascular test (yayyyyyy). I don't believe in heavy supplementation but I have added some magnesium citrate, and a small amount of calcium + Vit. D. Small amounts, we will see. Also going to try my lighter hiking shoes on the local dirt trails to see if my hiking boots played a role in the splints due to being too rigid. Hopefully my feet will agree with the change, there was a reason why I chose those boots. I do think (hope) shorter hikes will be fine with them though - no 11 mile hikes again for some time to come.
