The Trek lives. I actually went out and walked 11 miles on Friday. I got tired of waiting for my various foot and tendon problems to go away, so I simply got out and did the walk. One of my worst times ever — 3:35 — and I’ve been hobbling around like an old person all weekend. I was thinking of walking again on Monday, but a blizzard blew through here today (Sunday), so I’ll give things a day or two to melt away. I’d like to get this done by this October; we’ll see.  ..bruce..
