Happy Hiker.

I went for a hike yesterday. The first one since my surgery. I was nervous beforehand. Rationally, I knew that it would be better than the last couple years, but I still worried that I would get the racing heart rate and the dizziness. I was worried that somehow hiking would be the thing that I still couldn't do.

Yeah, none of that happened. I had a great time. My hip has been bothering me. It hurt when we started, but it went away after awhile. This morning I feel great. My hip doesn't hurt at all. My calves are a little sore, but that's it. I know I may get some DOMS later today, but I am so surprised that my hip feels good. It's better than it has felt in a week. Hiking heals.

It was cool and super windy at the top, but it was such a good hike.

I'm so happy that I can hike again!!!
