Walkin'

[christopher575]

Today is the third day in a row that I arrived at the bus stop 61 minutes after waking up. I'm hella consistent. I've had less shin pain each day, and think that pretty soon they won't bother me at all. It's funny, once I make my way down to flat land, my stride becomes so long and bouncy, I feel like a chunky gazelle.

I work from home on Fridays, so I think tomorrow I'll wait until a little before lunch time so I can investigate some of the possible ways to get down there that aren't too clear on the map. The main reason is that I currently have to walk the last part along a busy, boring street. I might be able to follow a residential street instead, if I can find a way to get over to it. Google Maps thinks it's possible, I couldn't find how in the dark.

I ended up with a pretty bad headache a while after I got here on Tuesday, and a minor one yesterday. I felt this morning like I was close to having one, so I'm drinking lots more water and that seems to help. 

Getting up at 4:45 isn't so bad. I don't set an alarm on Fridays, it'll be interesting to say when I wake up tomorrow.

How's the back feeling?

Fine so far but I'm skurred.

I hope things keep on working out well. I wish that I could get to work with a mix of walking and bus riding. The mushroom farm is just too out of the way for public transportation.

How far? Might be able to bus to a couple miles out and walk the rest of the way. :)

Literally the middle of nowhere! The other problem is that you have to cross a county line, and the bus service in the next county is really spotty. I may investigate it a bit more. I also need a way to get around the farm and go to other farms.

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

Yup.

Do you know the trail under 520? And do you ever get off at Evergreen Point?

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

I'm only walking from my place to the Montlake bus stop.

I dig it. I do something there that nobody else does: I get on the next bus and go to Evergreen Point. And that's cuz maybe there I'll catch a 542.
