What a course...swamps, briars and a moved control oh my! Hope to livelox/Qr this one.

GAH! Going to 4 and 10 was a mess...going to 3 I had it in myhead to go to 7....and my hesitation had me yelling at my computer. More detail later. Still glad I didn't drop to green.

More detail--
To #1--blew it on the trails and made my way there.
#2--pretty straightforward, with the pack on LL.
#3--had it in my head going north of the water body and found a trail on that little bit of land heading the main trail, but I was wrong and tracked back over.
#4--blunder city. Got into the RE which is what I thought I wanted and so very wrong and got totally lost. Reattacked from 5.
#5--bearing to it.
#6--Set bearing and did a 3 features rule...got to it, questioned it, and then went to it.
#7--took the swamp. Slow.
#8--so so so slow through that green. Wondered if I had gone far enough and then saw the rock fence.
#9--Questioned my water, and realized how oblong it was when I refolded the map and on my way.
#10--I just don't remember it being that screwy as it shows on LL. Never saw the road...anyway, I did go in too far the east, and saw the end of the water body and backtracked.
#11--my overshot sealed the deal on taking the trail.
#12--fight fight fight and got to the man made object and went from there.
#13--so tired of the green I cut the swamp to the mid point on the landbridge or whatever line. Ha, taking swamps to avoid green. That's a new one.
#14--Hands were too cold/scratched to open a gu, could open my rx bar ate that. Saw Voit, and was shocked. Met up with Igor and Greg. I slowed Igor down on the trail. I shared he could pass me.
#15--Straightforward along the water.
#16--Trail
#17--Right with Igor but wanted to hold a bearing because I wanted to be sure.
#18--Trail...finish.

Red - Splits

Playing around at tree farm. Pretty day! Forgot to swap my cleats on winter boots. :/

Brrr....chilly! Tried to speed it up to warm up but that just can't happen. Now I'm actually looking forward to the surgery.

Legs/abs

Got the results from an MRI test last Friday. In short good and bad news. The good news is that the tarsal tunnel is caused by a ganglian cyst pressing against the tibial nerve. An outpatient procedure will release and remove this cyst and doc says I am great candidate for full resolution of the problem. If it had been something else pressing the nerve, it could have been more complicated and not possible to resolve. The bad news is no activity for a bit of time, but hopefully up and going within a few weeks.

I am so tired of this constant pain. I am so hopeful for this. I will have the procedure next Thursday or Friday.

The only thing that is disconcerting is that I don't know anyone who has gone through this and so curious about the impact.

MRIs are pretty cool. I learned a lot about my feet.
