Since my heart doesn't beat like it used to I have to set goals to help push me to keep improving my cardiovascular strength. I started about 1 1/2 years ago with walking up and down my stairs to the car with Graham for an outing. This summer nearly 2 years later I set a goal to climb South Fork (from my condo) and make it to the gate. Well I am so pleased to announce... I did it! I felt like my heart was going to beat out of my chest and I wanted to throw up, but then I recovered and took the photo and flew back down the canyon. It was a beautiful moment in my life that I wanted to record. It has been a recovery process and I'm not 100%, but I'll get there! I can't wait to tell my doctor at my next appointment, but for now I'll rest and set a new goal... maybe Squaw Peak?
Maybe Next Year!
