A real first today!

Today was the first time that my wife and I ever went to Waterville Valley. We did so when we went to visit friends there. It was a great day. The weather was perfect and we walked around the town and through the trails for a total of about 5 miles. I don't think that I have ever walked 5 miles in a day before. The legs are a bit sore - but I really did not have any problems at all. Could I have done this before I was diagnosed? I don't know. Much of the walking was done on relatively flat ground and I never realy had any problems with flat ground before. But 5 miles might have been a stretch.

In any case, we just got home after spending 10 hours there. It was really an enjoyable time. However, we saw no moose and no bears. Is that good or bad? You can decide.

As I mentioned before, we visited with my mother-in-law yesterday and had a nice time as well.

Two good days and I think that every indication is that I am still doing well.

Much to be thankful for...

Bob
