I've actually been behaving myself since my fall (if you can believe that)...and I am probably the slowest person on the trails in the entire state That being said, I am not back on the trails just yet, hoping to by spring.

All summer I took the trails bit by bit, what happened when I fell was just one of those freak things that happen. I do focus on my hear-rate on the road, but not on the trails. On the trails I focus on what I am doing and enjoying my surroundings. I also stop and look at bushes and flowers that get my attention

So I am doing everything they tell me to do, but part of me is beginning to wonder if this is as good as it will get - but I refuse to go there for longer than a few seconds. Positive thinking helps healing!
