Back to walking with the ladies

Yes! This morning I went for a wonderful walk at Lake Padden with the Fairhaven walkers, my first time back in three weeks, since I hurt my knee. I intended to go around once (instead of twice the way we usually do) in hopes that I wouldn't be taxing my knee too badly, but after one time around, I was pleased to find that there was little to no pain. And now here it is a while later, and there is still no pain, so I am quite thrilled.

No, I won't be heading out on any nine- or ten-mile hikes with the Trailblazers quite yet, but I'm definitely on the mend. I'd call my knee 90% better. Then I headed to the Farmers' Market to have a piece of Sophie's rosemary and sea salt bread, toasted with butter and apricot jam. Now it's a nice rest on the schedule for the rest of the day.

  1. Mmm, apricot jam. The apricots are just showing up in some of the farmer's markets. I really should get some and make jam this year.

  9. Very smart to only go one time around on your first hike. The toast sounded scrumptious! :)
