| no partners | | I wanted to see how I did on the trail after starting to take some super beets heart chews, as well as nitric oxide gummies (also beet root extract). I noticed increased energy from better blood flow, plus the swelling in my legs and feet has really diminished over the past three weeks. In addition, my blood pressure readings have been coming down too. My heart doctor wants me to start taking a pharmaceutical (Eliquis) because of my Afib and age, but of course I will say no and look for other more natural options, plus low dose aspirin.  Anyway, I really wanted to see how this translated on a hike. Wow! Best I have felt in more than a year, plus the strength and flexibility is back in the legs.  No balance issues, and no need for trekking poles on this relatively easy loop. It was a test, and as of now I am pleased. I have been way too sedentary, so hopefully I won't be afraid to get back on the trail, as that works more magic than any drug ever will. 
Heck, I even have enough energy to head to Walmart to do a little shopping and restock the beer supply!  |

This is a nice loop. The up is gradual, the trail in great shape, nice views, great vegetation. Throw in a pleasant pace and some fun conversation and it makes for a great outing! Thanks for another great hike Linda. Like Haz, you rock.
