> Thursday through Saturday, I went backpacking. Well, technically Friday-Saturday, since all we did Thursday evening was car-camp. It was about a 6.5-mile hike. If it had been seven, I would be dead. I know, I know, I can't believe I'm saying it either, but two days later, my legs are still screaming at me for springing up from my nice little computer and taking them for a "walk in the park" without giving them advance warning.

I'm sure you know that a two-mile walk each day for two or three days before your trip would have made a world of difference. At my age it takes four or five days, with a little more distance each day, but sometimes I surprise myself how far these old legs will carry me. There is still pain the next day, but I don't get sued.
