Bilateral THR Hippy Toonz

@DrToonz , another great report from you. That strength in your legs will return. Just keep working on it. Can't wait to hear about your hiking! I am hoping to get back to hiking once I get my orthotics and leg length issues settled.

Got hiking permits.
Hike will go forth early August, 2015.
I have gained 40+ pounds in the last 1.5 years of relative inactivity, however, so the new-year's resolution is: Get that under control so I don't have to carry excess BUTT up mountains and instead can bring my hammock.

Permits are for a 38 mile backcountry trip over 5 days/ 4 nights. So excited.
Now: MUST TRAIN over the next 7 months!

Thanks for the happy thoughts. Hope everyone is doing well.

Hi, @DrToonz ... sorry it took so long to respond to your thread! I'm doing some catchup work here tonight. I'm happy to hear you're getting back into hiking. Boy, it's easy to put on pounds when a person can't get out and exercise, isn't it! But it sounds like you're on track to becoming a whole lot more active in the coming months. Wow....38 miles!!! That will be an accomplishment and I bet you'll be seeing some gorgeous country. Where is the hikeing area you're going to?

Hiking the Teton Crest Trail in Grand Teton National Park. Should be epic. And difficult (gulp).
35 lbs left to go!
