As much as I'd like to, I can't go 5 miles in one go either. I don't think I've gone that far in over 10 years.
I'm trying to work my way back up to it.

So again, short I go a short distance until I feel a little tired and strained, rest and get a second wind, and repeat a few times until I get a longer trip, or should I just go until I've done all I can do and start heading to the nearest place I can sit and rest, then head home as best I can exhausted?
