I haven't been on an outdoor hike in quite some time. We used to go regularly on the weekends but with winter and all it's been a while. DH loves to go and asked me to go on Saturday but it was too cold but on Sunday, the temperature was warmer and the sun was shining so I said sure.
The hiking trail we follow is about 1.5 miles and takes us around a half an hour. Usually when I am done, I feel exhilarated. Yesterday, I felt like I climbed this:
Our path starts out on a pretty steep incline and my poor old legs were not happy to make its acquaintance again. Plus my asthma(not a bad case, very mild) decided to rear its ugly head so I was kind of gasping for breath by the time we got to the top as my legs screamed "What in the H are you doing to us?"
Once things leveled out a bit I could go on with few problems except when I slipped on a mossy rock and when I missed the next rock completely and almost fell and when I tripped on a tree limb and when I got slapped with a branch. Otherwise, I was perfect. A hiking princess.
OK, not exactly a hiking princess but at least I made it without doing myself harm. That's something, right?
