As many of you have noticed from the E-mails I have received, I had taken a hiatus for awhile. Seems as though health issues seem to crop up when least expected. I spent the holidays in November and December recovering from a serious Staph infection, one that could have left me paralyzed or even killed me. I had two surgeries and had the infection drained through my back with a vac pack and pick lines in both arms. I'm glad to say that I survived and I'm ready to walk. As a matter of fact I have been out and about for the past couple of weeks Nordic Walking (a little 7 mile walk) and getting ready to resume classes.
My New Years resolution for 2011 is to stay healthy. The main way to do this is to exercise and eat healthy. Even with all of this though, as I found out, you can still become ill and not be prepared. But by staying healthy and fit, you recovery is much easier if and when you do have a setback.
The weather is beautiful and there are many new trails to check out with our poles. Next class begins on Saturday, February 26, 2011, from 9:30 - 11:00 a.m. Come and join me in a fun, physical form of walking. New studies just completed show that 40 minutes of walking a minimum of three days a week helps part of the brain expand and helps to keep you aware (study group was 55 - 80 years of age group). This in itself makes it worth walking and why not have fun by using poles and getting an even better walking exercise in. There are still some spaces left for the first class of 2011. E-mail if interested. See you on the trails.
