I had fun with a neighbor yesterday!

A woman named Maria lives a few apartments down from me. She has invited me cycling, but we cycle differently, She likes to put on a helmet cycle on local roads. I like to put on my flip flops and cycle on the bike trails, stopping to bird watch or just reflect. But yesterday we chatted in the parking lot. It turns out she likes to go shoot hoops with a small basketball for exercise. She has issues with her arms and shoulders, and playing with a basketball is physical therapy for her. She showed me her basketball, which she keeps in her car, and we played basketball catch in the parking lot. My knee is still "iffy," so I'm not going to try and run yet, but I am open to playing basketball catch. Hopefully we'll do it again.

How nice you found a like minded friend in this neighbor. I like to go slow and look around when I bike but my husband likes to go as fast as he can. I haven’t ridden a bike in years though. I no longer have a bike.

@TheHorse my husband hurt his knee and was laid up for months after biking to hard to face when he decided to start biking again after a few years ago. It pretty much ruined his whole summer

I may head out on mine this weekend. But I have to pace myself.

It was. Maybe we can be "rehab partners." over the next few months.

It's nice to have someone in the neighborhood to do things with. I like to be alone especially when I exercise but most aren't like me. I hope you're seeing some improvement in your knee. I hope you enjoy your weekend.
