Not much news to report, just hanging out with my daughter and her roommates. Finally got a couple of short bike rides in around St. Augustine, but have barely begun to condition for this long trip starting next week. Guess I'll just have to get in shape as I go, instead of biking in circles to get ready for it. I may have some short days in the beginning, but I have no time constraints so I can take as long as I wish.
I have also managed to get down to the beach a couple of times: once to catch some rays and walk for an hour or so...then again last night to enjoy the breezes, smells, and sounds. I do love the beach!
Wednesday I'm hoping to hook up with Hammock Hanger who lives in Jacksonville and do some paddling on the intercoastal waterway. Then, at least, my canoe will get off the car and get wet. I also have a place south of here to put in on Thursday. I was hoping to go there tomorrow but they're calling for thunderstorms...not a good time to be on the water in a toy boat.
So hang tight. I'm hoping the bike trip starts next Monday, or Tuesday at the latest. I'm as anxious as y'all to get started. Once I do begin, I won't have internet access unless I find libraries with connections. We'll just have to see what gives.
I have to say my knee has not been cooperating. It's fine as long as I don't use it. It's had some issues biking because of the torque I have to get it to release my clips...ouch! I was reading about using a foam roller to stretch the IT band and help to release some of the trigger points, so I decided to buy one today. Now, my friends know how frugal I can be. Well, the real foam roller sold to do this (with CD) was $22, BUT they were selling foam roller water shooters for $10! It's smaller in diameter, but does the trick. Hey, $12 is $12, and I didn't need the CD...
I guess that's all the news that's fit to print.
Hugs to all, Bag Lady
