We had my birthday celebration because I won't see T2 until November or December. It was like Christmas, I woke up and couldn't wait. We had champagne and cookies and presents!!!
What a great way to start the festival.
Last year when I was at the festival I was much much heavier and it was hard to walk up to the Gondola. I dreaded the walk every morning and secretly prayed that some good Samaritan would stop and put me out of my misery. My legs would burn, my lungs would burn and I would think that I was going to pass out. When we got to the top I would hang over the railing and just pant. It was horrible. And every year I would say - if only I was 50 pounds lighter it wouldn't be hard.
Well I am lighter, and it was easier, but not as easy as I thought it would be. The truth - it is hard to walk at 10,000 feet.

It is VERY tough to walk at 10,000 feet. Happy pre-birthday to U!!!!
ReplyDeleteOther than your broken ankle which is still healing, you're in WAY better condition this year versus last, so I'm glad (but not surprised) you found it easier - sounds like much easier by the way.
Should we put on a John Denver CD?
