Today Joe and I (Lesa) went for a hike in the mountains above our home. We were in an area called Solitude. We hiked up a steep mountain then back down again, for a distance of about 8-9 miles. On the way down my muscles were shaking but with several stops we reached the bottom.
For a couple of middle aged parents (grandparents) it was an accomplishment. Personally, I'm pretty proud of myself. We may hike a different trail each Saturday; as long as our weather permits.
