Chinatown tune up

Our destination: Jade Garden Restaurant

Today I walked to join my life-long friend, Jay Hastings, with whom I traveled to Cambodia almost three years ago. Jay was coming to Seattle for business, so I joined him for a dim sum lunch at Jade Garden Restaurant, 424 7th Ave. S. From there to the ferry terminal, for Jay to catch the ride home, and from the ferry terminals home. Total distance: at least 3.1 miles, or 6.56 km.

Significance: Probably the longest walk I've made since radiation treatments ended. I made it up Madison hill without having to do more than pause momentarily to catch my breath. Part of that was due to some strategic planning to make sure I didn't ascend continuously--but I didn't rely on the escalators I employed on my April 1 hike. When I got home I took a big nap.

Total for the day: 4.1 miles, 6.56 km
Total for the year: 110.32 km
