Hard won miles


 Avalanche Level, 160 Miles, "It's all downhill from here! Congrats on your momentum. (clapping hands)"

It took me 20 days to get these last ten miles. After aggravating the hip - turns out I have a longer leg - recovery has been slow. I started physical therapy this week, and have stretching exercises to do three times a day. I'm fighting the exasperation of the tedium.

On the bright side, I just increased today's distance to a little over a mile, and although the hip is tired, it is not painful. Small victories.

  1. I was sure I already post here. Congrats!
    I'm finding it easier to blog here than comment.
    Must work on that

    1. Thank you. I’m having to “hold my horses” this afternoon, when the time is available to get more miles. The body says NO. I need to stop at tired. I am learning.

  5. I agree with Watermellen - you did it when you could have used your hip as an excuse to quit.

  6. Nice image: avalanche! Cool in this Summer heat. Glad you are being wise about the hip, tedium of the exercises aside. You *do* know how to take care of YOU! Proud of you, sis!

  7. Just noticed the heading of your BlogSpot - ALICIA363: The Grateful Girl and it *immediately* brought to mind that series of touching blogs that you did focused on gratitude. I know you're a busy, busy working woman ... have you saved them? ~ JEANKNEE

    1. I haven’t saved any of my SP blogs intentionally (I may have an old word file here or there) - I just plan to let them go.
