Pushing on regardless...

My Dodgy Knee decided that, since it was a nice afternoon, we should get out for a walk. Although My Dodgy Knee started complaining within a hundred yards, and despite howls of protestation, it was decreed that we would Push On Regardless. 3.14 miles since you ask, and yes, the .14 does count. There was a certain amount of leaning on my walking pole (admiring the view, obviously) and I guess we'll know tomorrow if Pushing On Regardless was a good idea or not.

Training...

So... the MSK advice was that "if it still hurts an hour after exercise, you've done too much". Not entirely sure where "it still damned well hurts a week later" fits into that, except that I've probably done further damage. Anyway, I'd booked a guard shift on the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway for Friday and as it all seemed manageable, decided to press ahead. 

Happily, all went well, confirming that I can still be a guard; I have one more shift booked this year. The weather can only be described as challenging, with Storm Amy arriving. The river Esk and Whillan Beck both rose dramatically during the day, and the drive home was... interesting... I don't think I've ever driven through water (basically the river Duddon) that deep, and I am usually partial to a nice ford. This is a "library photo" of River Mite, which was on my train, as the weather on Friday didn't permit photography!
