Toe wound! There's still a lot of weeping going on, but I think I can try walking my 9.5K route as of this weekend. Once I start walking again, I believe healing can continue as long as I do my Epsom-salt soaks more often (lately, it's been about once per week). I've switched from applying iodine to the toe wound to just using my good ol' first-aid cream. This wound is taking longer to heal than my previous wound in 2024, which was arguably worse. I'm guessing this is because I didn't bother seeing the doc this time and getting my usual complement of antibiotics. Not that it matters now: I'm past the danger zone for infection.

As for long walks: I've decided to wait until fall to try the route again. I need to do some serious rethinking and research to re-plot the route. As to when in the fall the walk might happen... I don't know. If I've got a university job by that point, I'll have to work around whatever my schedule is. Whatever the case, the walk will happen in the fall.
(This post is also up at Kevin's Walk 10, this year's walk blog, which I'll be reusing in the fall instead of creating a new blog and tee shirt.)
