BB2ME #27 — Why the views are worth the pain
My feet hurt, my back ached, and I could barely walk. I slowly strolled into the kitchen to make my morning coffee. It felt like a truck hit me the day before.
Getting old stinks is the thought that came to mind. It was last fall, and I was sore all over.
Kim and I hiked Old Rag Mountain the day before, and I was paying the price.
I had not done much hiking before this trip which was a mistake. I have to admit the views were worth the pain.
One of our first dates was a hike with great views
Kim enjoys the outdoors. I do as well, although I don’t spend much time there. One of the first dates that Kim and I went on was a hike.
She talked me into spending a Friday afternoon wandering high in the hills of Virginia. It was a great time. We spent several hours hiking, talking, and getting to know each other better.
Little did I know that Kim had packed several beers. I needed one after we reached the top. Smart move on her part. She is clever like that.
