Hiking : > )

I'm beginning to think I was right about this time of month after the IGG. I actually went hiking yesterday. We went to Ruffner Mtn, the largest city park in the country. My hips hurt and my stamina wasn't great but I was able to do it. Going uphill I had to go very slowly and stop a lot to rest but I did that. My breathing was good, not labored. I think we went about 2.5 miles. Pretty good for me these days. I'm feeling pretty good today except for my knee. I tripped over a vine on the way out of the woods. I managed to get out of that only to discover that my other foot had caught on another vine. I couldn't get out of that one so I spilled onto the pavement. I did have the presence of mind, however to roll as I fell. I'm very proud of myself for doing that and honestly I think it kept the fall from being worse than it was. As it is, the only problem is where my knee hit I have a very sore knot (Funny thing, it's not bruised looking. Go figure. The Leopard Lady didn't get another spot, unless you count red ones.) and the inside of my hand is very bruised.
I don't know how long this spell of energy will last. I think last time it was about a week & a half or so. If this is true, I can do a lot I didn't think I could do. I just have to time it for 2 weeks after my treatment. Also, if I can get some good exercise during those times, it should help build me up to make it better through the rest of the month. Hmmm.
