1.7 mile walk. I'm starting to get concerned that this isn't working. I may need to immobilize the bleepin' bleeper to let it knit or some such BS. I'm worried I'm re-tearing the injured part as fast as it's healing, because it's been, what, 5 weeks and it's not really getting any better at this point. Plateaud is the phrase I guess. Still quite painful, still limping. Wasn't able to walk normally at any point today but pushed through anyway- perhaps a mistake, but fawk....

might be time to go in and see someone; of course I'm pretty sure you'll know what they'll say- "stay off it" 4 frosty miles on the trails with Tiny E, day started at a balmy 35 degrees, by afternoon it dropped to the mid teens and snowing

"Rest, Ice, Ibuprofen, if you want to geek out on it we can get imaging and schedule PT!" There. I owe me an office visit. I think I'll double-bill and see if I can get away with it. I'm going to give it a bit longer... always darkest before the dawn, etc.... but we are putting in for the JMT for this next summer. It's gonna have to buck up, same as always.

Jeff My thoughts have always been if it isn’t getting worse it will get better. Pretty much always worked.

Ed, those are wise words indeed and actually give me a bit of good cheer as I read them. It's not getting worse. Arguably, since I'm ramping up activity and it's staying about the same, that IS getting better. Just sick of this limping-around [bleep].

Jeff I struggled with an Achilles issue for probably 2 years but it did eventually resolve.

Multiple Achilles tweaks- and the visceral fear of a full rupture- were what got me to finally give up competitive b-ball in my mid-30's. So I've done this rodeo before, but it's been a while, and this seems to be more an acute injury to a specific portion of the thing rather than a more general strain. I'll just have to new, uber-light gear for the JMT! Might be a "little" vertical in that casual jaunt.

My buddy and I got out on our kayaks for four miles of paddling: Did a short, steep hike with the dog: And went on a snowshoe hike with my older buddies: All in a few days, all within a few miles of home. Guy

this morning- deadlifts 5/5/5, overhead press 5/5/5 both at 75% of 1 RM, lunges 3x30 yds (those pretty much sucked after yesterday's snowshoe outing!), chin-ups 3x12, core this afternoon- 4 miles w/ Tiny E; he must be close to fully recovered as he seemed to plenty energetic

you must live in a great place too! Chelan County, Washington. It's about 85% public land and varies from about 600' above sea level to 9,000' asl. Lots of vertical. Guy

Guy looks (and sounds good); we're ~ 4500' here in Helena, not too far from some 10,000'-ish stuff- lots of trails in and close to town; Forest Service in all compass directions- I have no complaints

Yup, 3.7 miles on snowshoes today with a small group of friends and my dog. We gained about 900' but were moving slow, one of the guys has two brand new knees. I'm impressed that he came out and hiked with us!
Also - heard a story of another local guy who was hiking recently with this two husky dogs. A pair of large feral dogs (not wolves, large dogs) started stalking the guy and his dogs and then attacked! He tried to fend them off with his trekking poles and basically destroyed his poles in the process. One of his dogs was hurt bad, went to the doggie hospital and is in bad shape but will survive. The other fared better. He didn't have pepper spray or a firearm, but is buying his first handgun now.
Watch for the critters!
Guy

hmmm- that's not good; I have a small/light S&W 317 .22 that I carry with, good for bad critters or bad folks AND have killed a fair number of mountain grouse with it too
