I met a lot of great people while hiking the Trail, such as Thimbleberry & Greenstone, a couple who live in the upper peninsula of Michigan, who have been here visiting us this week. What great fun we have had reminiscing about our hikes on the A.T.! While they were here, we went to Dinosaur Valley State Park, in Glen Rose, Tx. where Jerryatric (another hiker I met on the AT) met us for a day hike. We barely got in a couple hours of hiking in between the rain storms. But, we are not complaining about the rain, after the severe drought Texas experienced last year!
I have not done hardly any walking since I've returned home from my Hike, and I've gained back the 20 pounds that I lost on the AT!! Not Good! However, after seeing G & T this week, and talking a lot about hiking the AT, I have got my motivation back! I think I have anyway! After G & T left this morning, I went out and walked 4.2 miles (on the little county roads near our house). Going forward, I plan to make walking some each day a regular routine.
Tom and I went on a "road trip" to Sanibel Island, Forida at the end of January. I will write about that adventure in my next post on this "new" blog. I am new to blogging and very new to writing. I journaled at the end of each day while I was hiking the AT, and it was very therapeutic for me. So I want to continue the habit of recording my thoughts and our adventures.
I feel so very blessed to have Tom "Pyro" in my life, and a wonderful family, an awesome group of friends ,and now even more great friends that I met on the AT! God is so good to me!
