Deborah, just so you know, last year I could barely walk from the couch to the fridge for a beer without taking a rest. 😉 Deb, that’s awesome – the hike to Yosemite Falls is damn strenuous but SO worth it! I hope you were there when the falls were running. There was so little rain this year that Yosemite Falls was dry by mid-July. And NAP, I’m training for a MAJOR hike next year – the John Muir Trail, 215 miles from Yosemite Valley (via Half Dome) to the top of Mt. Whitney. So my training these days consists of lots of trail running and much hiking up mountains with a heavy pack, etc. One unforeseen benefit of my “Recovery” project is that I’m SO damn tired at the end of the day, I sleep like a baby.
