Yesterday, Alon and I and our friend Kat went to North Boulder Park. While Alon and Kat walked her dog, I played on the swings and started making up my own exercises. It was freeing, uplifting, empowering, and fun! Before hand, I honestly just wanted to go home and fall asleep, but deep down I wanted to test my endurance and push myself. I had already pushed myself that day (socializing, eating out, crutching around plus a lack of sleep)... but I am so glad I pushed a little more and discovered these moments of joy in the fresh, crisp Boulder air at the base of the Foothills.
Here I am (click on photos to enlarge):

| Extension on the way up... |
 |
| Flexion on the way back... |
 |
| Runner's lunge, Position 1: Flexion. The majority of my weight is supported by the swing's saddle, my back (right) leg, and hands. Just a light toe touch on my left leg (permitted by doc). |
 |
| Runner's lunge, Position 2: Extension. Just trying to straighten that left leg and feel a good stretch! |
 |
| Look at me, I can fly! :-) |
Playground swings are always good therapy. :-) Nice to see pics of you out in this cool, crisp Boulder weather!
