…about mosquitoes. Wilderness hiking, you come across a swarm of mosquitoes, just waiting for you to stumble along so they can devour you. Do you ever wonder “If there is no-one else around for a hundred miles, what did all those bloodsuckers eat while they were waiting for me to come along?” Sunset at St Vrain.

Pace and Persistence
I exercise every day. Walks. Rides on the Trikke. Bicycle. Every few days I try a little run to see if it works yet. It doesn’t. Today, I felt energetic, so started my walk off with a slow run. It felt good. I kept on. No pain. I kept on. An hour later I was back at the coach. An hour! The pace was nothing to be proud of, it was barely faster than a walk, but to be able to trundle along for an hour, slowly sucking up the miles, is something I haven’t been able to do for two years; since before the heart thing. I don’t know if it’s repeatable. Maybe today was an anomaly; but an hour? That’s a major milestone!
