It has been a whole month since I recorded the last episode. I had a bachelor party weekend for a friend. It lasted a couple of days and included a number of activities. It was a very active weekend. We played horseshoes, went hiking at Devil’s Den State Park (where the before and after pictures featured here were taken), played disc golf, mini-golf, and went bowling. It was great to finally play on the disc golf course at Lake Fayetteville which I had walked by many times. It was a good experience and made me realize there are many ways to have fun and be active at the same time. Why not do activities like these instead of going out to eat. At least more than I usually have.

One downside of that weekend was that I started feeling discomfort in my knee in exactly the same spot that was injured last December, so I’m going to the orthopedic surgeon sometime in the next month. No one has told me not to walk, so I am walking.

Also in the last month I have had a full set of physical therapy sessions, and I feel stronger and a bit improved from when I started.
None of the physical problems I am having deter me from continuing to exercise and improve my health. If I can’t do one type of exercise, I’ll find another and keep on going. I may have to start cycling, which I wanted to do anyway. But I have no intention of stopping my progress on this physical journey.
