* My fitness walking (with an occasional wog) added up to 19.25 miles last week. That's on par with my run mileage during half marathon training. I may not be building cardio fitness, but it should be good for building strength; I went up and down the hill 10 times last week!
* Son traveled solo for a few days at UC Berkeley last week. His travels went well except for a minor issue on the BART (boarded wrong train) which he was able to work out. Apparently he had a blast while he was there. He came home *very* excited for school in the fall. Next time that he heads out to Cal, he will be moving in and staying for 4 months. *gulp*
* Today is my long awaited orthopedic appointment for my knee. I hope he devises a plan to fix me up soon so that I'm able to run again. My knee has gotten progressively worse over the past several weeks. It now bothers me even on my walks. This appointment also includes a follow up on my elbow fracture, which is feeling much better. Perhaps I'll be released to normal activity on that front. Fingers crossed...
Fingers crossed, indeed! FGood luck.
ReplyDeleteYour baby is leaving home....I'm a long way off, but I think I will fall apart when that happens.
Good news on the walking!
Uff, it's gotta be hard to have Son heading off to college in the fall! But, I'm sure he's a capable young man who's had great parenting, so he'll be fine. You, however, may want to schedule some race training for the fall -- preoccupation might be vital!
ReplyDeleteNice job on all the walking! I ran every single day last week and my mileage only totaled 21 miles!
maybe your knee is telling you it WANTS TO RUN :-) Let's hope so...
ReplyDeleteJimmy has been away at camp for almost a month now, as a counselor. Perfect training for going off to university...
LOL - BART *can* be confusing.
ReplyDeleteI hope your appointment turns out as good as mine did yesterday. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Glad you're getting the knee checked out by an orthopedic person! I hope everything goes well and he/she gives you a plan of action you can live with. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck at your appointment! I hope he has some good news for you!
ReplyDeleteHope you get some good answers at the dr's! Your son sounds so ready to head to college.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of walking - you go girl! And what a wonderful time in Son's life, how exciting! But certainly gulp-worthy (hugs)
ReplyDeleteGood vibes being sent for the doc visit.
