I climbed a mountain this weekend, twice!
My neice and I went to Mt. Tabor Sunday. Its really more like a butte in the midst of Portland. It's a 2 mile hike around and over, climbing several hundred feet as you pass through woods and several open air reservoirs. There are also a set of 176 stairs at one point. We walked this twice for a total of 4 miles. It took us just under 2 hours, but wow was it intense.
My neice Katy is really inspired by me and has been really encouraging me to get out and walk. She wants to join me for the 1/2 marathon this October in the Portland Marathon.
The only thing I'm really struggling with, is being off my antidepressants. I've been numb walking around emotionless for years. Now the flood of emotions is so overwhelming. I hope I just need some time to get used to all these feelings and will be able to relax and cope. I don't want to be medicated again. I must admit thought, the intense activity this weekend really brought down my anxiety levels. So maybe if I can keep up the walking, it will help.

wow! you did some great waking exercise. i didn't know you're in Oregon. I'm in Oregon too. I understand about the flood of emotions. I'm going through that too. The anxiety attacks are a killer. Fortuneately mine are low level and I can usually talk myself through it.
