As for what I experienced a couple weeks ago, I'm not sure. It could have been a random incident of SVT (supraventricular tachycardia) or a result of too much thyroid medication. (My doc now has me on the lowest dose possible.) Whatever it was, it galvanized my resolve to get rid of my extra weight. For good!
So the snowshoe trips are back on. My plan is to go on 2 snowshoe/hiking outings each month in training to climb the Wellsvilles on September 12th. Got that? September 12th. Put it on your calendar and plan to come with me!
I hope to sit down soon with my Cache Trails book and come up with a schedule of outings. When I get it all figured out, I'll post it. If any work with your schedule and you'd like to join me, I'd LOVE to have you come along. I'm referring to the Wellsville hike as my personal Everest. Hmmm. Maybe I'll even re-read Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. Or maybe not.
The cool thing about making the Wellsville Mountains a part of my fitness goal is that I can look out my front windows and see them everyday. See them when I'm running errands in my car. See them when I'm taking the dog on a walk. I've always loved them, but I'm guessing that now they'll mean even more to me!
Have a Happy New Year!

Into Thin Air is a great read, but Krakauer can be a little crass, so you've been warned. I just finished Into the Wild and am thinking of a really long blog post about the romanticism of nomadic living, but that will just have to go on the to do list.
I wish I was going to be there to climb with you . . .
I commented on your other blog, but will also say something similar here. What a great way to end the year!
Sept 12 is on the calendar. I've had a few setbacks this week, but I've resolved to go slow so I can be with you. I "walked" 4 miles today and biked 4, too. It's the uneven terrain and uphill/downhill stuff + elevation climb that's gonna be a killer! How long is that hike again? Got to plan!!
I am soooo glad to know your test results are good. Whew! Hope this is that little trial you need to strengthen your resolve to be healthy. Thanks for your example. I wanna go with you on a snow shoe excursion. I LOVE to snow shoe! Keep me "posted". :)
