Any virtual workout buddies out there?

Well, I came here to report that I finally really did go for a walk on my road, and it felt great! It was only about a mile and I'll go for more next time. The last one I went on was maybe in October or so and was much more difficult for me, so something has improved! I am chalking it up at least partially to having a good, supportive pair of walking/hiking shoes. I have problem feet and need this kind of support. Last time, I didn't think about the shoes, as the issues were showing up everywhere else, shortness of breath, back pain, etc. None of that happened this time. My pace may have been a little slow for some people, but it felt positive and great when I was done. I am also convinced that bad foot support, with my problem feet, contributes to my tendency to have episodes of vertigo. The feet, eyes, and ears all work together to send the brain messages about balance. That is my theory, partially suggested by a doc, and info seen on the web.
