After 8 long weeks and a rocky recovery from surgery I am finally back in the game. Until now, I’ve been hiking in flat nature preserves to build up my endurance again and see how much my post surgery body could tolerate. Today I decided to go big or go home- I had to find out where my limit was so I hiked the highest peak in CT. Relatively this isn’t a big mountain but it was sure higher than my couch, which is about what I’ve been hiking to lately. And this is the biggest mountain Arlo has hiked so far. He was wonderful- he just turned a year a few days ago and he hiked right by my side for 4 hours. Boy, did I luck out when I got him! At one point I just stood on a ridge overlooking parts of CT and raised my arms to the heavens, thanking the Universe welcoming me back. I missed hiking so much. Doggie kisses when we got to the top ❤️
