And I'm Home!

Hooray! Yes, the down part is very important. Welcome back!

Glad to have you back!

fil--down was harder than up, if you can believe that! i'm glad to be back on flat ground. :)

andy--thank you! and i see you made it into this week's podcast. yay! :)

Congratulations! It most certainly IS harder down than up. I believe it was a month or so after descending from Half Dome to the valley floor that I was able to get back on even an elliptical trainer, but I bet you're in better shape now than I was then. How many toenails do you think you'll lose? :)

i didn't trod any trails, mountain or otherwise, but I did walk most of this city, including the vast zoo and Sea World. We come back home tonight. *sigh*

Are your muscles recovered yet? And WTG for completing that hike!!

wre--my toenails are doing just fine--it's my actual toe that i'm worried about! not that i'll lose it, but it's still swollen. jay went for a hike today at white clay creek, but i haven't had the desire yet. i *might* ride my bike tomorrow, weather (and quadriceps) permitting. :)

nat--i LOVE san diego. did you do the duck boat thing that changes from being a tour bus into a boat and takes you around the harbor? that was so cool! the only bad thing about s.d. is the weather--it's too nice all the time. i need clouds and rain. ;-) p.s. my muscles are getting back to normal, but i'm still creaky when i crouch down and my one foot is tender. the first day and a half after we came down i walked like an old woman and could hardly do the stairs at all. it was sad!
