Hike #2

Days Post-Op: 3

Lbs lost: 0

It's bright and sunny out with a cool spring breeze... a perfect day for hike #2. It's my first hike after surgery so it was a bit slow going to say the least but still really nice to get some good fresh air and sunshine! This time Mom joined me on my adventure.

A suburban garden with brick lined paths was the chosen location for my first post-op hike. After a short trek to the south we crossed a path into a large garden/forest. There were birds of all kids and squirles everywhere mingling with the occasional dog from an off-leash area. Bright sun shined down through the huge cedar trees as Mom and I made our way around the winding path. We did our best to name the many plants and flowers that were just beginning to spring up. We backtracked and circled the gardens a few times. Being only 3 days post-op I was a bit sore and groggy and so of course I wasn't able to hike at an impressive speed or for any great length of time. By the time my body called it quits I was satisfied with my .26 miles recorded by my pedometer.

As Mom went out front to get the mail I headed up the back steps and into the house.
