No, I just had a rather severe problem with achilles bursitis that I needed to work on. According to my doctor, I'm supposed to ice it, take ibuprofen religiously, and go get a decent pair of walking shoes from somewhere where I can be fit properly.
I'm picking up the shoes this weekend, but last night I couldn't stand it anymore and went out for a walk. Only managed 22.5 minutes before I was limping again, dammit, but at least I was out there.
I've also added SAM-e as a supplement, not so much for weight loss as to offset the fact that I felt exhausted, depressed and my knees sound like popcorn. I'm now six days into the course and I have to say that I do see an improvement -- I'm not getting crackles in my knees and neck as badly, and I was able to get through a VERY stressful week without crashing. Now if I can just get my ankle working properly again, I'll be a happy camper.
Thursday's total mileage: .94 miles. 490.93 miles to Isengard.

I hate that we're both getting older. We're both trying to better ourselves while we watch ourselves fall apart. It somehow doesn't seem fair. This never would have happened if we were in our 20s, dammit.
I know, and I intend to write a strongly worded letter to the manufacturer!
