In the ongoing quest to Save the Knees™ I did a basic walk today to get some exercise and not overly stress the middle parts of my legs.
It was 31C, so even walking there was sweating to be had, but it wasn’t as bad as it could have been, as humidity was relatively low. They are saying summer will be hot and dry, so I wonder if last year’s Xtreme humidity will turn out to be an anomaly.
The walk went fine, the knees did not cry out, nor did any other part of my body. All dogs encountered were on leash and well-behaved. I saw another turtle on the river. I walked as far as the turtle nesting area at Burnaby Lake, where I have yet to see a turtle.
I was feeling zesty so wore a sleeveless t-shirt1Would these more properly be called o-shirts?, but made sure to slather myself liberally in sunblock to avoid an embarrassing and possibly cancerous early season burn.
Overall, it went well and it was nice to be out in the trees and stuff.
