This has been a disappointing week. I set out to hike 22 miles on Saturday. However, my right hip has flared up. I decided to postpone the hike until this Friday. Thirty one miles is a bit low in the Wellness Challenge, but I did not walk but 3 miles from Friday through Sunday.
I am afraid on my hip getting worst. On long walks it might shut down on me leaving me with some big pain. This last week believing the pain is inflammation, I started using Ibuprofen to reduce the inflammation, but I do not sense that it has any affect.

The last hike I did was 12 miles but 10 of those were straight up and down Mt. Defiance in Oregon. Some folks use that as a precursor to Mt. Hood and say it is actually tougher than summiting Mt. Hood! I am a middle aged woman that quit smoking in Jan. so this was a real kudos for me!
