Day 3 - 267 -- Missing Exercise

The day was cooler with rain -- very fall feeling. The moisture is needed and it was rather pleasant to listen to and to walk in when in the lighter rain phase. A few people sounded grumpy that it wasn't sunny and hot again today, but the past hotter days were far above normal. It seems odd to expect that to continue <smile>. The transition season will bring warm and cool and hopefully a lot of moisture to help the water table rise for wells.

I love walking on days like today. Frustratingly, my knee has been extra sore since returning from a week of walking on cobblestone streets. Seems that uneven ground put some strain on the foot and ankle, which in turn strained the knee. Walking up or down stairs seems not to cause any pain, but walking down the hall or across the parking lot seems to aggravate things. I've been walking more recently as way to deal with stress and to perk up when I feel a bit down. It is irritating that walking hurts right now. I've seen the physio and will likely go back a few times for this issue to straighten out. I'll also have to prioritize getting new runners -- they were on the list, but perhaps something with better cushioning and support can help the foot and the knee. Sooner seems a better idea than later <smile>.

When thinking of my need to walk more one line came to mind -- the title and chorus of a song that has been used here before. Enjoy!
