Got real tired of sitting around for a week waiting for my back, knee, and legs to feel better after my fall off a ladder last Thursday. Although I didn't seem to incur any serious injuries, I non-the-less, was very shaken up and in quite a bit of pain for the first two days. Thanks to some good drugs (legal), I didn't feel the full brunt of the pain.
To date, the back is still sore, the knee seems to have another meniscus tear, or feels like it, and I have numbness in my legs.
I just got tired of feeling so down yesterday and decided to just walk. I walked 3.41 miles at a 20:00 pace and actually felt like I accomplished something, or at least burned off a few calories. Today I upt the mileage to a little over 5 miles at the same pace. Just walking on my familiar running routes felt pretty damn good!
Tomorrow I'll hit the bike and get in a short ride. Since it's pretty obvious I have a very slim chance of running again, I have resigned myself to just alternating walking and riding. So be it! ....Mike

It starts this way, Mike, and then you never know how it might work out some day.
Meanwhile, walking and riding is all good.
