Slacked off a bit this year. hiked 58 times, walked 438 miles and gained 41,017 feet elevation gain. Last Feb I had severe anemia with a serum ferritin of 4, so I did not do much in the way of elevation gain until I got my iron reserves back up. Listen up ladies. I took 48,000IU of vitamin each day for two months and started taking proferrin hemi iron, these two things build up my iron stores and fixed the reason why I was losing so much iron in the first place. Don't even consider Novasure, it is very dangerous. Wore out two pair of shoes, but mosty it was my long walks in Seattle that did that. Started taking the ferry to Seattle and walking 8-13 miles every time.

My busiest year yet. I'm really enjoying being an old semi-retired woman! clown.gif 1,612.5 miles hiked/climbed 14 bears 2 Knee injections (osteoarthritis) 1 Sprain (ankle) 1 Broken bone (finger) 0 Hours watching television Climbed HoodX2, AdamsX2, Helens, Baker, Glacier Peak, EldoradoX2 & Rainier + This year I'll probably not get as many hiking miles in, but I'm adding Nordic skiing to my activities & working on better nutrition.
I enjoyed being retired as well.... 16 miles climbed/hiked...300 miles walking-wandering around my neighborhood 1500+ beers 0 bears 20 fish caught 0 sprains 0 broken bones 1800 hrs spent watching tv-movies Climbed 0 mountains 0 times Seems like we would be fairly compatible, want to go on a hike? wink.gif

Go placidly amid the noise and waste, and remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.
