thisnewdayThe heat index was at 100 for much of the day today and so I put off my walk until the late afternoon. At which time we got the rain that we'd been told might be passing through in a potentially violent turn of the weather.
We did get the rain, and it's been breezy, but not much more. So after things dried off a bit, I drove to the high school and did my walk. And, even though I was intentionally holding back, I did this one in 16 minutes.
Back in the day, I was quite capable of 10-minute miles, over a 5-6 mile distance, but those days are now long gone--and probably best forgotten. Because now, when I find myself leaning into it a bit, I'm also conscious of the beginnings of that pain in my ankle which, once it gets established, is very hard to work through or get rid of.
So, easy does it. Focus on protecting what I've got left in the tank--and be glad for that...
