I Overcame And I Did It :)

I went back to the same place I attempted to hike last year when I came within inches of a coiled rattle snack (scurrry) so I didn't finish. Today no snakes to be seen (foggy and rainy) so I actually finished. Steep and difficult at times but I did it :)...5 miles in 1:25 not bad for this ole lady with bad knees and to think I could barely walk up the stairs of my own home in 2010 truly blows my mind!!!!

If you are a newbie with bad knees I'm here to tell you anything is possible :)

Here are a few pics of me at the end of the hike, so happy...also throwing in a before Lord have mercy LOL!

Proud of you! You look fan-freakin'-tastic! Wow... and your arms!!! Good grief!

You lost all that weight and your arms look great - did you do a lot of arm exercises? It sure looks like you did.

Hating my arms right now. I've lost 22 pounds (or so) and I can already see/feel the hanging skin. It sucks! :unsure:

Wow, that's a great time! Even on a totally flat surface, let alone hiking uphill on a rough trail!

Way to go!!

Check you out!! You look so young and happy!! :) Go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great job!
