Today I went on a "meet-up" hike...It is through Yahoo groups and it offers a variety of hikes every week. I signed up for this one last week and really had to push myself to attend. I hate walking into situations where I don't know anyone and other people know eachother. And I was worried whether I could keep up.
Granted, I should not have signed up for the hike with "speed hike" in the title!
Well, I was the slowest hiker...five men and one other woman. But I did finish the hike and caught up on the downhill. I think I can be proud of how I did. I struggled socially, which was not surprising...and for goodness sake I was out of breath trying to climb a steep trail. I will cut myself some slack.
I feel good that I gave it a try. I spoke with two of the guys and they were nice. One of them said I was hiking with the fastest of the meet-up hikers. I will do this again, hopefully with folks just a little slower : )
Quote of the day: I said to my friend "I think P will make a really good ex-husband".
Off to bed.
