So I decided that it was time to start walking hills. T and I headed out our front door, and this time we didn't get in the car, but started walking up the hill. I had decided that we would walk to the cross and back, and I knew that I had a little climb ahead, but I plunged forward.
So the first hill I was like - woo why have I been avoiding these hills, this is nothing, I am not even out of breath. By the time I got to Robinhood Lane, I was half way up the hill and thinking maybe it isn't such a good idea, who needs to get up to the cross?
But we made it, barely and yes I was sweating and I thought that this is not something I am likely to do anytime soon. But the walk to the top of Mt Davidson was rather easy and I was pleased with the whole thing. I had walked up to the top for the first time in what 15 years? Yahoo!!!
But coming down was pure hell. T was no help my ankle was killing me, and my knees weren't feeling all that good either. I was so worried about T pulling me down that I literally shuffled down the hill, screaming at her the whole way.
When we got out of the park I was on a fairly level area, and we were walking easily, when this man comes running up to us. I guess I woman had just gotten mugged - must have been right after we had walked by - and he said that the mugger had really beaten her up. I was shocked, I didn't see anything or anybody. I mean we were in the third richest area in the city and it was broad daylight, workers all over the place, people out and about. And I had just walked by seems right before the attack - I started to wonder if maybe he was making it up. And if not, then I wasn't mugged because I had a 108 pound German Shepherd walking beside me?
But whatever the truth, I came home and locked the doors. Don't think I will be walking in that area without my trustee steed any time in the future.

This is TSH - am I also your "Trustee Steed" (I know what a steed is, but I've never served as a Trustee for a horse).
ReplyDeleteI am glad you had Taya, but she's not the best defense.
The NEXT walk we take there will be together with Taya AND Mr. Samuel Colt or Mr. John Browning. Perhaps the Smith & Wesson Cousins may like to join us?
Scary - I hope this makes you keep the doors locked AND the alarm on. If you recall, we had break-ins in our neighborhood last year & our next door neighbor was mugged right in fron of our house.
Sounds like it's time to review our security plans and systems.
I agree with Teddy with respect to the Smith & Wesson cousins. I prefer a blade but you have to get close to do damage. I remeber your neighbors break-in. Poor Taya was trying to tell us and we kept watching TV, I believe a british miniseries. Keep safe and yes, review the security plan.
