On the upswing

I think I'm starting to feel better. I'm still tired and my spleen still hurts occasionally, but I think I'm really starting to get well. Or maybe I'm just feeling more upbeat because I've spent so much time in the sun lately. In either case, things are looking up around here, and just in time.

Today, I played tourist with some out-of-town friends. We walked a lot between the Golden Gate Bridge, the Warming Hut, and Fort Point. I did some similar walking in April, and thought I was going to pass out along the way. Today, I'm tired now, but I made it down and up all those trail stairs without a second thought.

Tomorrow, I'm going hiking with my Team-in-Training teammates. The hike is in Marin, on trails I've never seen before, and I think there's a pub stop involved. This will be my second hike this year, and I'm very excited for it.

Wednesday, I leave for my mini-summer vacation. I think I'm feeling well enough to enjoy it. But if I'm not, I will be perfectly happy lounging on the deck in the sunshine.
