I went for my first warm-up hike today. I did a partial of Section 2 of the Metacomet-Monadnock, just to see how the body would take it. And I have some work to do. The lungs and heart need more workout than what I've been giving them--I did maybe a couple hundred feet of elevation gain, and was panting along the way. It took the heart rate a little extra time to slow back down while I rested. Now would be a great time to add a little aerobics to my week, if only I can find the time!
The right knee, ever the source of problems for me since I nearly demolished it 3 years ago, has also made its complaints felt about climbing uphill on unconsolidated basalt slope and slippery oak leaves. So next time, it is the brace for you, oh knee of mine! And some daily deep knee bends might help too.
This week I also begin pulling together the equipment and supplies I'll be taking with me for my 3 days out. Suggestions welcome as to what to take or leave behind...because I'm a bubble-brain sometimes! :)
Also, help name me!
