It was a long recovery from my foot surgery and I'm not back to 100% yet - but I am back to playing soccer! And I don't have the achilles pain after playing anymore so the surgery was a success! Before surgery I was limping after the first half of play. I even did my first HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) class and Orange Theory class. In both of those classes the lack of strength in my legs was very obvious- LOL! So I still have more work to do increasing the strength in my legs and flexibility in my achilles - but my surgery foot isn't keeping me from doing too many things. About 2 weeks ago I went on a hike with my bro and one of his friends from La Jolla up to Mt. Soledad. I didn't make it to the top since the last part of the hike was a REAL steep incline on city streets and my achilles told me to head back downhill after it got a serious workout as we hiked through the very steep La Jolla nature park and on the uphill trek to get to the last climb for Mt. Soledad.

And I didn't even post on the day of the eclipse - but I did get a picture of the eclipse through the leaves of our wisteria - with Max, our Westie, keeping an eye on things. :)
