The first hike was a wake-up call for me! I hadn’t realized how much I had let my body go. Mentally, I feel like I’m still in my 20’s but physically I must be in my late 60’s-early 70’s! Didn’t see it coming. I was truly out of my league but maybe I should try to find a slower group. I was watching my footing more than the beautiful surroundings. My goal was to see the nature, not so much of an exercise. I enjoyed it very much but hesitant to go again. Doing more exercises and pushing my wheelchair bound sister on concrete paths: there are inclines which can be difficult.
