Have you ever been excited for an adventure, but not sure you were up to it physically. At 56, that was me. I have been working on my fitness; walking, and believe it or not, Jazzercise.
What I had been told was a three-mile jaunt through the Sierras, was actually a twelve mile, up and down, but mostly up, hike to North Dome, to have an amazing view of Half Dome.
Four hours later, and 12 thousand steps (thank you apple watch), Half Dome came into view as we stood on North Dome.
A few learnings: should take more water (a must), more food would have been good, but really missed that water. There is no shame in a walking stick, and a shout out to Merrell Boots.
Although my performance wasn’t pretty (there are photos of an ungraceful lie about on the ground), I did make it and will give it a go next year!
