Nursing a healing knee on the road is not always easy. It means waking up at the crack of dawn to beat the potential crowd at the cramped hotel gym and bike for 20 minutes before doing other fun leg exercises. Then showering and grabbing breakfast before catching the family ride.
It also means being away from home, not having to cook and clean. It means being in the same car with two teenagers and thinking that it is great to share their precious adolescent moments that have to be savored before they vanish.
It also means enjoying new extraordinary scenery as we cross the US and thinking that, yes, it feels good to live in our big country.
My knee is behaving itself, and my leg is getting stronger. Not as fast as I wish but hopefully over the long lazy days of summer, both knee and leg will get better.
I'd love to go back to physical therapy with a much improved knee. All by myself!
But now I will call it a day after a great Indian dinner and yes, 20 minutes of biking.
