Watching the moon set over the Wisconsin River this last weekend while out camping. After the sun goes down, the bugs come out. I got three mosquito bites before I covered up and made myself bug proof. The mosquitos missed the epidermal numb spot. I wonder if it would itch.
Anyway, I finally got around to doing my physical therapy "homework" yesterday, which is to jog. About time, I guess, since I have been slacking all weekend and week. I had a good excuse--I was plagued by anxiety, after being reminded of all my biomechanical deficiencies. The truth hurts, literally.
So I ran. The rest of me felt fine, but my left leg did not appreciate the experience.
1. My shin, which still exhibits bruising lateral of the bone drilling, hurts on impact. Like pressure and bruising. Ow. I'm convinced that my leg is constantly hemorrhaging.
2. After about half a mile, I began experiencing patellofemoral pain, which became more persistent over time.
3. Either my left leg moves slower or exhibits a shorter stride. Probably both. It feels less versatile.
4. I think because of #3, I drift to the left while running.
5. If dropped onto a large field and and let loose to run in a straight line blindfolded, I would traverse a counter-clockwise circle with a conspicuously small radius.
6. I stopped running after 2 miles because my leg felt unpleasant.
7. Running--a freakin' fantastic reminder of my extraordinary state of lameness.

Mark Tilden's Strider was an excellent example of low-power walking. Using very shallow angles of attack, the swing of the legs did not create much vertical displacement in the walking gait. This meant it had _almost_ a shuffle-like walk, but in fact was very elegant in its motion.

Berkeley College raised more than $5,300 for the cause, and more than 120 Berkeley College team walkers participated. Each year the Diversity Stride brings participants together to promote diversity in New Jersey. Money raised by walkers, individuals, business sponsorships and individual donations fund the American Conference on Diversity’s Youth Leadership Institute Programs, which offer a variety of experiences that educate and empower NJ youth to create more inclusive schools and communities.

The first bridge on the Aln is one of the best. A stone bridge commenced in 1856 when the piers were built and completed 8 years later when the arches were added. The delay was due to the bridge being washed out twice during building. It strides across the river at the west end of Alnmouth, linking the town with the A1068 road between Amble and Alnwick. It is Grade 2 listed.
Alongside on the upstream side is the footbridge, added when the level of traffic made crossing the old bridge hazardous. The river flows north from here before swinging west to reach Lesbury.
