Day 218 - King of Pain

Not sure why, but my left knee was swollen when I started walking this morning. I limped for a good half hour, but kept trudging on. Hot my four mall miles and snapped this pic with Russell Wilson at the Nike store

After getting to work and settling at my desk, I could feel the knee swelling up even more. When I got up fora bio break, I could barely walk for a bit. I kept at it and walked it off. I sure hope this knee holds up for another 17 months. I decided to limp down to the store at lunch to get some Aleve to help with the swelling. Continued over to the mall after that to grab a gyro and then walked back up through the parking garage a fewlevels because it was raining pretty hard. The knee was still hurting pretty bad, but I think the Aleve startedworking as it wasn’t quite as bad later in the afternoon. Walked back to the car and after another nasty hour and a half commute for 27 miles, made it home. 4 more on the treadmill and finished with 13.1 for the day.Not too shabby for gimping around on one and a half legs for the day.

Nosh N Walk: Week 49

#millersnoshnwalk week 49: We had the pleasure of hanging out with the Scurvy Dogs Book Club on the last day of the month. We had some trouble getting the gang together this month, but squeaked by on 2/28 to keep our streak alive! Going into our 11th year of the book club, we have met every month and have now read 129 books. This past month we read The Lincoln Highway, by Amor Towles, it was a good read. We met up at BBQ Pete’s and had some fantastic BBQ and invited the Scurvy Wives. I had a prime rib dip sandwich and LeAnn had the ‘Sandwich with No Name’ - sliced brisket, cheese and crispy onion straws. They even had free soft serve ice cream cones! So good.

While on my Journey to complete walking 24,901 miles of #ToddlingAroundTheEquator, I am focusing these walks on the amazing missionaries that I know that are serving around the world. I am dedicating walking a marathon of miles for these missionaries and tag them as #missionarymarathons. I am so grateful to these faithful missionaries for dedicating their lives to teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ! This week I have walked 26.2 miles for Sister Dummer, who is serving in our Ward. We have had the privilege of having her over to our house for lessons and for dinner. It has been great to get to know her and see her beautiful smile and the love she has for the Gospel. She has been in the mission now for almost a month, and I can tell she is going to help change so many lives for the better as a missionary!

I am so grateful to these faithful missionaries for dedicating their lives to teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ! These past few weeks I have walked 150.4 miles for Elder Brendan Murphy, who is my nephew. (Gotta go a few extra marathons for my family!) I decided to walk the distance between the first two Cities he has served in in Finland, Turku and Lahti. Brendan is a special man, with a beautiful smile. He is intelligent, kind and thoughtful. It has been a privilege to watch him grow up and become such a man who is now serving the Lord with all his heart, might, mind and strength. It is an honor to be his uncle. Here is a bit more about Elder Murphy, so you can get to know more about him and why h...
