Finally......I've Started

I was finally able to start my hikes. I went to Antelope Island on the Mountain View Trail. This trail is along the west side of the island and gives a spectacular view of the mountains. The weather was amazing today, about 60 degrees with slight breeze. We only went for 1 mile and then I started feeling it, but I can't get myself down. It was a great start. The family went with me and it was nice to purge some of the pent up energy from my spring fever!!!!!

Finally......I've Started

Mountain View Trail. This is actually a 11.5 mile trail along the west shoreline of the Great Salt Lake on Antelope Island. We started down by the Garr Ranch and headed out. The weather was absolutely beautiful. It was around 60 degrees with a slight breeze. Spring fever so bad. The family came with me and I started out very anxious to get going. We walked for a while, then I started to feel it in my feet and my back and hip. I thought for sure we had walked a mile, but when we looked at where we had been in was only a half a mile. Arghh. I really need to work up to my long hikes I will be taking. We walked in and then out, so I have the first mile under my belt. That's good though. March 11th, and I'm starting out easy. I need to start some time. It was a beautiful day, and my family was with me. Who could ask for more?!
