SOON it will be time to kick this blog into full gear. Soon, oh so soon, it'll be time for us to apply for our permits. Once I have those permits confirmed, I will begin posting details of our upcoming hike. I fear if I post too much of anything beforehand, the gods will smite us for our arrogance and we won't get the permits we need! :)
In the meantime, here's a cut-and-paste from our main blog. I have..(had?)...Iliotibial Band Syndrome -- but my leg feels much better now, and the girls and I will soon ascend another peak. Hooray for the mending process!

Woo-hoo! My leg feels fine and dandy. Had a visit with my local -- and most excellent -- sports med doc yesterday afternoon. All I need to do is keep doing what I've been doing these past few weeks -- mainly, stretching. He gave me a few new stretches to go with the old ones. He also told me I should use hiking poles on a regular basis, to slow the progression of arthritis.
Two days ago, I did a five-mile hike up and down some hills near my house. Yesterday, I walked a few flat miles and rode a stationary bike for half an hour. Nothing hurt. YES!
Monday, I'll head back into the woods and take on some mountain miles. A week from tomorrow, the girls and I will summit a peak or two.
It feels good to feel GOOD again.
