20K

Posts of the recent past bring me to this post. To wobbly to ride my bike. New drugs will take a bit to get used to. Pain free days a miracle. Thanks to methadone and a few other modern brews from the pharmacy.
As I was trying to say. I was to wobbly to ride my bike in a strait line. I did what I could. I got my walking boots on and headed out. Down to Minto Brown Park. The local runners park just down the hill from our Condo. Just had to get my body turning over. Bring the sweat up. Warm the muscles. Stretch out and feel the push again. I have worked to hard to get to the fitness I am at to just let it go. Now, I had done a hard hill walk of about 6 miles on Friday. Before, the late night attack from the monster in my head. So this was the first push since the new drugs were in play full time. Down to the park I walked. Blue jeans, work shirt, wallet, phone, hat and belt. Ready to push the body hard. As I said I could not ride a strait line on the bike so that was out. Here I was in a somewhat farm like setting. Very simple park of asphalt paths, dog fields, and that's about it. Well it's all next to a river. I just put my head down and took the longest loop I could do and added the 5K loop onto that. 15 an 5 did the 20. I simply walked as hard and fast as the body would go. It felt great. No pain. Push all the way. Never looked at a watch, or in this case the phone clock. I just marched. All the way to and from the Condo. The event was a complete success. Not as hard as a bike ride, but a great success. I did not fall down. The pain did not catch up. Smiles all around. Mary Anne was happy to. Maybe the bike will be soon.
