Woo hoo! The weather broke and I got to go hike a bit!! My dh and I managed to get in a hike while the sky wasn’t dripping and the frosty wind was around the bend. It feels great 🙂 I dare say that having to wait so long between hikes proved to make us a wee more winded on the hilly terrain, but we shall sleep well tonight! I’m a little concerned now about my 100 miles by the end of May goal. (What? You haven’t read the Hiker page? Well, get on over there and catch yourself up!) I’m not giving up, but the weather has not been cooperative, and there is a surgical setback coming my way. Fret not 🙂 I’ll be fine…more details when I know more…no sense in babbling on about nothing! Right now, I’m determined not to let that stop me, however. My shoes are quite muddy, but sans the minors, dh and I managed to keep the car void of evidence that we’d been prowling soggy trails. I shall have to hike in mud or parched earth (fat chance of that before May, LOL) in order to reach my goal with the recovery period I’ll require. I really want to do it though. Maybe I’ll celebrate by carving a 100 miles stamp! Ooh, now I’m onto something…who’d want it? Me! I’ll make it interesting to boxers somehow!!
Well, my little sweetie girl is waiting for the computer. She wants to find a Hula dancing lesson online for a school Adventure Points Project for the Pacific Islands. So I’ll write later. There’s much to tell 🙂
Reflections 
Progress on a goal is still progress! Regardless of goals met! Glad you got a hike in without the children, though… sometimes makes it more enjoybale (remind me to tell you about my time without the children over the Christmas break).
I’m on the mend… still haven’t gotten “out” yet… but call me if you need anything or want to talk.
