May 29, 2012 These Boots Were Made for Walkin'

No physical therapy yesterday since it was a holiday - - a holiday during which I did absolutely nothing.  It was heaven.

When CB got home from the golf course, I asked him if we could go for a walk.  That's right, a walk!

In Wamego, we have a great softball/baseball complex and the designers included a concrete trail that goes around the entire complex with a distance of about a mile.  It's not completely level, either.  There is a bit of an incline along one side.

So, that's where we went.  CB thought I wanted to walk around the parking lot.

CB was wrong.

Me and my cane (that's right, no walker!) took off like a herd of turtles and Buddy and CB strolled along side of me.  I walked and I walked and I walked and I walked.  Finally, I made it all the way around.  I was dripping with sweat and wasn't sure I had enough energy to climb into the pickup, I dug deep and hoisted my ass into the truck where I unceremoniously collapsed.

I was so proud!

I was so sore!

I was so glad to see ice packs!
