We went hiking
She had a good time. Honest.
May was a good month for the hip. My PT and I came with a way to measure the challenge of an adventure and determine if it was right for my stage or recovery. Each hike has three dimensions:
- Mileage
- Elevation gained
- Complexity of terrain
I was allowed to increases any dimension, but only one dimension. I had to repeat that same challenge without pain before I could increase some other dimension. So if I was successful at five miles and 1,000 feet of gain on a maintained trail I could upgrade to a five mile, 1,000 foot hike on snow.
By the end of the month, I was able to summit a little mountain, walk with the dogs, and see some wildflowers. Not bad and perfectly on track for recovery.
Baby steps.
