Relief:

• from the heat of the previous week
• from worrying whether or not to run the Boilermaker 15k
• finally saw an Ortho for my foot on Thursday
• finally got some PT appts (starting July 27)

Last Week-

• Sunday – The original plan was to participate in the Lake George Hike-a-thon with my hubby…

However, we were invited to dinner at friends and my hubby also invited work friends on our boat.

Too much to squeeze in on one day and I would be hiking the next day anyway,

Instead, I went to the gym and then we drove up to lake where we met up with my hubby’ friends and we all spent a lovely day on our boat.

And in the evening, we had dinner with friends (They live in NC but have a summer home near our marina.).

• Monday – DAY OFF.  Hiking was planned.  It looked to be rainy and two friends cancelled but Heidi and I decided to change the location and go hiking anyway.

A couple of wrong turns and 3 miles turned into 4,2 but the Achilles held up fine and afterward we went out for lunch and then ice cream.

• Tuesday – WFH all week… Rain all day today and cooler temps.

I was able to get out after rain for a short arboretum walk

• Wednesday – Another WFH day but I hadn’t run since Saturday so I did a UAlbany loop before I met my BFF for a walk.

• Thursday -WFH and I decided to start my day with a dip in the hot tub… Ahhh!!

What do you do when you finally have an ortho appt and your foot feels good??

Well, I went so at least I could get a script for PT. Diagnosis: achilles tendinosis with peritendinitis, (Treatment recommended: PT and what I have already been doing…)

In the evening, I went to my weekly trail run/walk. (followed my ice cream, of course.)

• Friday- Back to the gym before work and mah jongg in the evening.
• Saturday – No race this week so I was back on track to do a longish run and brunch with friends. I carpooled but decided to do my own run/walk.

My Achilles felt GREAT (what?) but after 3 miles, my left foot neuroma started to hurt (due to my high heel drop shoe and narrow toe box).. It’s always something!! (Do I switch back to my Topos??)

Afterward all 6 of us gathered for brunch.

• Sunday – Gym and spending time at the lake. It will be my granddaughter’s first boating experience!!!
