Day187 073017

Walked with weekend walking buddy before breakfast. On the way out she wanted to take lead and started too fast but soon slowed down. The first mile was 25 minutes. She wanted me to take lead on way back and we did it in 23. Both left foot and right knee felt fine.

Right knee was having issues as soon as I woke this morning. Yet it seemed to be getting progressivley better as I moved around so I set out alone before breakfast. It did some complaining but held up pretty well.

Day184 072717

Had a minor accident in the house which cut a toe on my left foot. Waited a few days to heal before I went any distance on it. Initially didn't think it was affecting the walk but it was throwing my gait off enough to mess with my right knee. Almost like learning to walk again as I tried to find a comfortable gait. Did feel like I was limping at the end.

Day183 072317

Another early morning with my weekend walking buddy. While this isn't a race I do find that walking with a buddy slows me down. But sometimes its about the company. We did each way in 24 minutes.

Day181 072117

Nearly had a full scale rebellion as my body made its displeasure known for being out another half hour earlier in an attempt to be well ahead of the forecasted triple digits. It took a few minutes to get acclimated then all systems were go. The right knee held up well. Did 21 minutes on both miles.

Day179 071917

Got up and out alone earlier than usual before breakfast. Had the plan I would do a second mile depending how my right knee felt. After the first mile it held up it's end of the deal so I reversed course and headed back up the hill. The winds made it tolerable but I could tell it was starting to turn that last quarter mile. Did 23 minutes for first mile and 21 for second.

Day178 071817

Made it out alone before breakfast. Disappointed that my right knee gave me problems a few times. It seemed coll when I first started and about half way a switch flipped and it was like I was in a sauna. There is talk of it hitting 100 on Friday.

Day177 071617

It was a slow start on a lazy Sunday. My weekend walking buddy initially cancelled, my back up said NO and I was getting ready to walk alone when the first changed her mind. When we finished she complained that we should have started earlier because it was too hot. My right knee felt pretty good the whole time. We did both miles in 24 minutes.

Day176 071517

Went out alone after breakfast. Shortly after starting I felt a pop in my right knee but in a good way. Thinking something may have corrected itself I tried to pick up the pace only to be quickly scolded that it was too soon. Other than that it was the best the knee felt on a walk in days. Could tell the day was going to be a hot one. The forecast said it will be the first of several in the upper 90's.

Day175 071417

Walked alone before breafast. Right knee was giving me trouble for the initial quarter mile as tried to find a comfortable gait. Bothered me a bit after the uphill on the backside also. Maybe something I'll just have to get used to.

Day173 071217

Went with walking buddy before breakfast shortly after the rain stopped. Had trouble initially finding comfortable pace and BOTH knees started to complain. I asked if I could switch to the other side of the path and that seemed to do the trick. Got back before the rains started again.
