Nice to see you @Shop-et-al
@HonnyBrown thank you for the vote of confidence. I just did not do enough activity over the winter.
I joined one Sunday hike two weeks ago and I was just huffing and puffing the whole time.
The other hikers in that group use these Sunday hikes to socialize and they head off on really strenuous hikes over the summer.
They don't expect us all to be at their level, but they aren't happy to wait too often.
One day I helped Scout a trail before the hike with the part of the group who are local. It was hot and I just struggled that day. After I made to the top of one hill the leader told me they had stopped for a break anyway. She added "And it's not an FU break, were not restarting until you're ready."
That is what happens. They wait for the stragglers then immediately take off at a good clip because they are rested.
Anyway, I enjoy the group, so I've got to get myself fitter. Yesterday's yard work had an impact on my muscles. So outside to keep at it.
Teaching kids to count is fine, but teaching kids what counts is best.
