A Better Walk Today

Two days ago I walked in a soccer dome and had significant hip-flexor pain on the same side as the sports hernia. Today we walked at Maplewood Mall, actually a lot nicer for walking than the soccer dome, though maybe a bit too civilized for running.

Anyway, we walked for 60 minutes, the same amount of time as two days ago, and we probably went a little faster, but the pain was less. It started after about 30 minutes, as before, and increased steadily for a mile or so, but then didn’t get any worse. In fact, it might have been a little less at the end than it was a mile before. Still only four miles, way shy of a marathon, but it’s a little ray of hope.

Peaches, cherries, blueberries, strawberries, all organic and all frozen. Organic walnuts and yogurt, on top of gluten-free oatmeal:
