things that are less than fun

1.  Having your foot swell up and become immobile 3 weeks after finishing off antibiotics for same symptoms.
2.  Having a large gauge needle stuck into an inflamed joint to extract fluid for testing (let me move it around a bit to get it in the right place)
3.  The next day having a needle stuck into each of two inflamed joints to insert cortizone into the joints.  I bet it didn't hurt as bad as kidney stones, but it hurt a lot!

So no, no exercise this week, not a bit.  Maybe on Monday if I'm luck!

it's something like Spring

The advent of Spring, the impending walking in England, and the slighter further away hiking Katahdin has got me moving. Sunday I walked a mile and a half on the treadmill in my boots. The plan was for 3 miles, but blisters on my heals cut it short. Monday worked in the garden because it was absolutely gorgeous outside. Walked most of the way home (2 miles) on Tuesday then worked in outside after recovering for a while. Today walked almost all the way home.

For the last two days I've been hungry all the time. Really, really, hungry. I guess that's not surprising with a significant uptick in activity.

I've still got a long way until I'm ready for either England or Katahdin. My feet have been giving me minor difficulties, but I'm trying to pamper them enough so they won't get really bad, but exercise anyway.
