Have to tell a little story about today (my 78th).
At the beginning of September, my wife and I signed up for a "Half-Marathon" Hiking program that we have here in our summer TN area. 13.1 miles of hiking through the Tennesee hills, West of Knoxville. Had to be finished by the end of the month.
We are at 2000 feet, so even that small elevation had this old guy puffing at the beginning of the month. Oh, and I had a new left knee installed July 13, too.
This morning, it was a cool 57 degrees, and Sue and I finished the last three miles. One portion was up and down in some rocky areas, and the final push was a simple long walk through a city park. All in all, I was happy we could do the deed in the allotted time.
Not too bad for an out-of-shape old fart and his much smaller bride!
