I relate to feeling bad when you cannot keep up with all of your doggy's activities, especially walks. But, focus on taking care of yourself, resting, so that you can get back to going on walks and playing more in the evening.
Lola sounds like my boys -- they understand when I tell them I don't feel well. Sometimes they will act anxious around their usual walk times, but I can distract them with a few tricks for treats and then snuggling.
We usually substitute car rides when we cannot walk, but it sounds like you are not up to driving. If Lola likes car rides, maybe someone else can drive?
I hope you feel better soon.
