Day 49: On the Road Again

Day 49 finally sees me on the road again. My dentist has cleared me for exercise and I immediately took to the trails after my post-op appointment. The past 10 days have been torture on me. Lounging around the house was only pleasant the first two days, after that I desperately wanted to continue my journey.

To celebrate my return to the journey, I decided to take a long walk of about 9.27 miles (14.9 km). Though I was sore after the walk and my mouth still wasn’t fully recovered from being cut open, it felt very good to be back on the road again. After my walk I spent the rest of the evening curled up in my favourite armchair with a teapot full of my homegrown Lavender Tea, a plate of oatmeal scones, listening to George Winston in the background, and reading my battered copy of Lord of the Rings. It was a very good night.

I know there is much ground to make up from my time off, ten days is a lot, and I still have quite the ways to go. But for right now I don’t particularly want to dwell on and worry about the future. For now I think I am content to sit in my chair and enjoy an evening of reading after a long walk and an even longer recovery.
