The heat. The humidity. It's back. Till Friday maybe. Must I add that it's the first week in July? My garden looks like the last week in August.
We went to the Lehigh Parkway at 8 am. The first half of the walk went fine. When we hit the covered bridge on the way back, we hit a wall. I think the hill by the fish hatchery did it. Or maybe stopping to use the comfort station and splashing each other with cold water did it. By the time we hit the iron bridge we were moving in slow mo. The watermelon and ice cold water in the cooler, waiting in the car tasted great. And we devoured the trail mix.
We decided we should park at the covered bridge. The halfway point no matter which way you go on the trail. We can refill water bottles and refill bellies. Plus there's a comfort station. Everything one needs while walking.
The 6.25 mile trail took three hours to complete in the heat. Yesterday we did 4-miles in just over an hour. And I'm exhausted and my joints hurt. I took Aleve for the first time in nearly two years. I want a nap.
Some you win. Others you loose, But we did it.

Yesterday my niece posted the "every two feet" FB page link for her Bari Buddies support group. Maybe when the weather returns to normal, we'll get a few members. Disappointed that no one outside of "family" comes.
