My PW and I'm still happy

It was a picture perfect day in Utah today.  I started my hike this morning in long Nike tshirt, jacket, vest, hat.  The sun was out and after only a few minutes, the hat was gone.  After about 20 minutes the jacket and vest was gone.  Right before baby stop sign, I stripped to my sports bra and put on just my tshirt.

I knew I could do stop sign but I didn't realise how in shape I use to be or how out of shape I was now.  I absolutely slowed it right down and had to take a lot of breaks to get to the top.  I did a PW, or personal worst.  It took me 2:15!  My PB was 1:15!!!!!!  I was just so happy to be out trying to get healthy and to be challenging myself.

Here I am at mini stop sign and I am feeling pretty good.  It took awhile to get there but was definitely feeling happy to be on the mission.  But from here is where it goes straight up.

Here I am at the end - not as cheerful but happy for the workout.

I was really interested in what my fitbit would say I did in stairs.  I didn't look until the end - 84.  That is a fair few.

The bad news is that my ankles are completely gone.  I can barely walk now.  It probably puts an end to most activities for tomorrow before I leave.  I am proud of my effort today and completely ASTOUNDED by my fitness level when I was coming here and doing this 8 or 9 times in two weeks.
