I’ve been thinking…

  …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!
