Recurring shingles and exercise

I have had recurring shingles for approx 15 yrs. From a couple of times a year in the beginning to every @4-6 wks. Worse in the summer. I take Valtrex for each episode.
After so many years, I still have questions. Please, your thoughts or answers will be greatly appreciated.
I live on the Gulf Coast where it is hot and very humid. I used to walk 5 miles a day outside but have cut back to 3.5-4.0 every other day. Is this too much? The walking is so important because of my weight.
Can I walk in the heat and humidity when the blisters are crusted over or should I wait until they are gone?
I hope you all are doing well, at least better. The support expressed on this thread is wonderful. Sending you all the best thoughts and wishes.
Thanks!
