Below the surface


This week Mike and I were on vacation on Vancouver Island.  There was lots of walks, kayaking, and enjoying being by the water.  The ocean was calm and in the morning it would have a glass like appearance.  It reminded me of my training. Although it may look like nothing is happening on the surface, below there are small changes occurring all the time.  Tides coming in or out that over time have large impacts.  Impacts that you don't see when you are sitting and watching for change.  Only by comparing at different intervals do you see differences.   This week I noticed more strength in my legs but I also noticed a marked increase in my neuropathy pain but that was due to the heat wave that we all were experiencing.  Still I am happy with the improvement that continues to occur week by week.  Although my numbers are low, they are slowly increasing with my focus being on walking, Tai Chi,  and Yoga.
