A new week, but no new goals... well maybe just to increase the steps on my stair-stepper. I have made it back up to 150/300, but still just can't get to the 200/400 I was at before vacation. I can hope I will be there this time next week. Otherwise my workouts are going great. I was looking forward to it this morning when I got up. I still felt like I had some energy to burn after getting out yesterday and hiking both loops at Mother Neff State Park. I took my little introverted runt-mutt with me for her first hiking adventure and she was amazing, She walked right beside me and rarely stopped to sniff and kept up with me really well. I never would've thought she'd make a great hiking companion. She proved me wrong, she could do this. I am going to take my other little mutt next time, but I don't expect much from her as she has issues with her vision.
Recently I had been having doubts about attempting EBC. It's a big goal and I started wondering maybe I should set my sights on something simpler and closer to home. I mean really - I'll be getting close to my 68th birthday when I am there. How could I a 5 foot 3 inch, 120 lb grandma even think I could succeed at such a lofty hiking goal. But then peak trekking season started and people started posting pictures of their trek. I saw hikers of all ages and sizes out there. Oh yeah I can do this. I've still three years to train. I just have to get off my butt and get out there on the trails and challenge myself.
I can do this!
