i just noticed something.
when we climbed to humpback rocks awhile back, i thought it was an 800-ft ascent.

no.

the elevation is 3650ft at the rocks. and 2360ft at the parki ng area. the trail is a little less than a mile from lot to rocks.

that's an altitude climb of 1290 feet. phew. no wonder i had to stop to rest every 50 yards.

i should write a book on hiking with major fibro and mild CFIDS periods. it will be calle d "stop and listen to your heart pound in your ears" or "if i sit on this cliff long enough, will someone airlift me home?"

Oooh, could I write a chapter in "stop and listen to your heart pound in your ears" about living with partial epilepsies? I feel like I do a lot of that. A lot of waiting for the "big one" to come. It's like living in Southern California, yo.

It's so frustrating when your body can't perform nearly as well as your mind can.

OTOH, It's always a pleasant surprise for me when my body can go farther than I think it's capable of...unfortunately, i usually suffer the consequences later, but it's often worth it. :P
