Over walking therapy

Last evening I joined the Mid-Michigan Food Club for smoothies and a walk along the Grand and Red Cedar Rivers on the Lansing River Trail. We did about 4 miles in 1.5 hours at a pretty good clip, I was dragging up the rear. My affected left hip was pretty sore from the not so pretty walking stride. Ibuprofen was great for taming the pain. I'm going to have to get better by next Feb. if I expect to go to Italy and need to walk 6-15 miles a day. I refused to ask the others to slow down, I wasn't going to announce my handicap. After that my left arm was finally hanging straight, so some good came from it.

    Cool, how long are you going to Italy for? Where in Italy?

    I don't know where yet, so far I haven't been paying too much attention because other friends know what is going on. I can deal with the ambiguity.

    How wonderful! I envy you. My husband would never be willing to go on a trip like that with me or "let" me go alone, but maybe eventually I'll recover enough that he would want to go.
