Summer Fitness NSV

I'm a little amazed by the level my fitness has changed in only a matter of months. My cabin at the lake sits at the top of a cliff. The beach is at the bottom and there's a windy path down the side to get there. Going down is always fine, but last fall I was wondering how many more years I would make the trip back up before I was quadding it like all my neighbours. It's not horrendous...a mild incline with a few steeper climbs, but considering the shape I was in, it was getting harder every year.

This weekend, I made a half dozen trips up and down without hardly raising my heart rate. If it wasn't for all the rocks and tree roots, I suspect I;d be jogging up it this time next year. Crazy what a difference a few months and almost 40lbs makes.

The pictures, if they work, really don't show the path well, but I tried. The happy dog on the beach if for no useful reason....I'm just practicing for when I have some weight loss pics
