The viewpoint on this morning's walk |
I learned that it's taking me longer to recover from hard hikes like I did last Thursday, because I went to turn on the juice and walk at our regular fast pace, and the legs just wouldn't go. I lagged far behind today, and Lily stayed with me while I struggled to deal with my painful quads and calves. It's not a long hike, just five miles round trip, so once we reached this view I suggested that the two of us would mosey back slowly, since going downhill is more difficult than going up on these legs right now.
A nice person who was also at the top took this lovely picture of us, so I am in it as well! And now it's afternoon and my legs are doing just fine. Tomorrow I'll be back in the swing of things, I'm hoping. It's my rest day anyway.

Great bunch and a great view. Heck I would still be up there resting:)
ReplyDeleteLook after your important self. Please. And enjoy your day of rest.
ReplyDeleteLove those smilng faces and the spectacular views.
I found that I had to swallow my pride and do much more stretching before and after a hard hike. Even then I paid the price sometimes.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun group. Take is easy for a few days Jan!
ReplyDeleteThe rest should help!
ReplyDeleteListening to your body becomes a new occupation as we age. ;) Looks like it was a beautiful hike, though. Glad you have such good friends like Lily!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou certainly are bouncing back quickly if your legs are all ready better. I'd still be moaning.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are taking things a little slowly. That's a really good photo.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful group of ladies...
ReplyDeleteAnd it's so nice to see YOU in the group photo!!
Well, don't over do it. Everything in moderation.
