I walked around Lake Merced with D, and I came home with a sore back and a weak ankle. I have been feeling a little blah lately, but our walk was about two hours (it usually takes me 90 minutes) and I got tired also. It also was disconcerting that everyone was passing us. I know I complain about that all the time, but when two little hunched over ladies went sailing by us, I knew I was - well limping along.
One of the girls at group said that she walked the Lake two to three times a week and she said that she would go around it twice. I gasped out loud - twice that is ten mile and she said she does it in forty minutes? I was sitting there shaking my head - like that is just not possible. You can't even run 10 miles in 40 minutes = please.
So I said Lake Merced? And she said yes - and I said you go all the way around Lake Merced and she said yes. And I said sometimes you do it twice? And she said yes. So I say you walk 30 to 40 miles a week? And she said what? I only go around Lake Merced it is only like a mile around -. I don't know what lake I have been walking around, but sure isn't the same one she is walking around. I guess from all of that there is a shorter way around the lake - I don't know - maybe when my knee is feeling better I will explore the smaller Lake Merced.
Well off to be a nurse.

Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteThink she's ever been to Lake Merced?
ReplyDeleteMaybe she means "crocodile lake" in Stern Grove - that's a pretty short walk.
Stow Lake is also short (except for the extra 6 miles we walked to get there).
T3 is the "Bee's Knees"!
Go Whitemop!
