Sperry Twiggins,
I feel like I've misled you!!!!!!!!!! My GOAL is to walk 3 miles in 30 mins. right now I do it in about 40 mins. Sorry bout' that!
Thanks for all the great advice! I think I'm gonna have to look intp the right shoes for my feet/walk...yesterday my foot kept curling up...wow, what a pain I got! So thanks again for that great advice!
*hugs*

Not mislead at all. You're still faster than me, and I'm faster than my husband and some of my pals.
When someone calls you a goddess, just smile and say, "thank you." That's what I always do. I mean that's what I would do.;)

Sperry Twiggins,
Thanks, you're so sweet! I guess I just didn't feel right taking a compliment unless it was due 
How often do you get to go backpacking? Do you any other sports? Hiking is fun--but we don'tg et to do that too many months out of the year here on the East Coast...too cold!
Hope you're having a GREAT Tuesday!!
*hugs*

Hi Ruchie,
Frankly, it was *&^%^&* cold last year on our backpacking trip during the summer. We were at about 9000' for a day or two, above timberline, and the wind came screaming up the mountain all night. Every year, I forget how awful it is and plan my next backpacking adventure for the summer.
We do hike (day hike) year-round, but in the Northwest, one must always carry Gore-tex. We are lucky around here to have many trails at lower elevations so that we don't have to wait for the snow to melt.
Yes, I do other sports, but I think hiking is my favorite. Is walking your favorite? Do you miss running?

Sperry Twiggins,
I've actually never been backpacking (or camping) before! My hubby and I are trying to find the time to take off from work to at least go camping. I'm not so sure what my favorite sport is. I DO miss running--sometimes I have the urge to just start running during my walks--but I know it's not a good idea. Walking isn't so bad...and as long as I am competing against myself, I'm happy. LOL How did you get into hiking? What do you love about it so much? I like the challenge--esp. conquering my fear of heights! I also LOVE the scenery!
Happy Wednesday!
Ruchie
