I went to Mimi’s determined to work through her weeds without further exposure to poison ivy. I think she has a little manufacturing plant for the stuff and the more I tried to avoid it, the more I found. I put on a long-sleeved shirt which I tucked into my gloves, but stuck with shorts. As I pulled weeds and dragged debris into the woods, I saw it everywhere. I actually took hold of it in the gardens and discovered just how viney it was; pulling up long segments as it meandered through her flower beds. She had some kind of itch-preventing spray, which I applied generously after washing up following my final load. I’ll know by Monday whether I took enough precautionary measures.
I
drove to the park where Savannah met me following my four hours of landscaping
for a tough Survival Workout. I’d been
feeling so good lately that I decided it was time to tackle uphills with my karaoke
runs. My hip felt fine the entire time
and I managed 25 different stations over the course of the hour workout. By the time I returned home and showered, I
was spent from the exercise and the time in the sun. My workouts have been sporadic and I see more
of that coming with the trip to New York next week. With only 8 weeks until Tour Ohio, I have to
be careful to make sure I’m ready. I
suppose to some degree, much of the conditioning will come from actually doing
the tour. What choice will I have?
