the test

I'm stepping out this morning for a ten-mile walk. Gonna test the knee, see how it holds up to the strain, and burn a few calories at the same time.

Latecomers to this blog will be delighted to know that photos of the path I'm about to follow are already up. I'd link to them if I had time, but will instead leave the task of searching the archive up to you. Best bet: try searching the April and May 2008 sections.

Today's walk takes me past Mount Vernon Estate-- George Washington's home-- then onto the GW Parkway bike trail, and up to Mile 3 of that trail before I turn around. It's exactly two miles from our house to the trailhead, so it's five miles one way: a ten-mile round trip.

Off I go.
