Walk 9: Saving the knees

Brunette River, late afternoon sun

Instead of my usual Monday run, I did a Monday walk, the better to preserve my right knee until the appointment on Friday.

Good news: The knee is fine. Better news: I walked 8 km, equivalent to about what I would do for a 10K run, minus the 10K run.

It was entirely pleasant, but I insured I would not foolishly start running by wearing my street shoes. In reality, there was no real chance that I’d run, because I am rather concerned about making things worse and having to wait even longer before running again.

But it went well, I maintained a respectable pace and all that.
