Thurs 13 Feb

Very cold this morning with fresh snow. Will be a chilly walk with Kathy, but maybe we won't go as far as usual. I'll wear Patrick's knee brace and bundle up heavily. I also need to get to the library today to pick up things on hold and I have several books to return, but I'll do that later, even if it means taking the car. Almost bundled up too warmly as I'm quite flushed on return. We stayed out about an hour and fifteen and I logged about 8000 steps on the walk and my knee held up beautifully. I have taken the brace off on return as I don't want my knee to get too used to being externally supported. I'll do Patrick's exercises in a bit, but right now I'm due a short rest. Food: 7:55 am Cheese danish, 101 g blackberries, coffee 10:00 am Mint green tea 12:40 pm Slice Innkeepers Multigrain toast, Jif, 101 g blueberries 6:20 pm 2 chicken drumsticks in curry sauce, 1 c steamed broccoli, 1/2 c farro w/golden raisins & toasted almonds Exercise: 8:30-9:45 am Walk w/Kathy around town
