Bambino's first steps

We crossed into Italy and hiked 8.5 miles with 2500 ft elevation gain at Val Ferret. Here it's called Monte Bianco. The highlights were the views (of course) and the horses, cows and sheep. We even saw a newborn lamb and it's mother.

We had an incredible pasta lunch at Refugio Bonati.

Some took the cable car to the top of the Needle at about 12,000 feet. It was pretty foggy though (see last pic), so some of us opted for a beer instead.

We hiked 4 miles from Montenvers to Plan de l'Aiguille with a hearty lunch at a refugio along the way.

We hiked the Mer de Glace Glacier. Hardest 1.5 mile hike of my life!

Today's hike took us on the Mt Blanc Express train to the Vallorcine gondola and over the border to Switzerland. The scale and beauty of the mountains were unbelievable!

That's a wrap. My goal was to finish under 3 hours. I was doing an average of 3 seconds/mile better than my goal pace until mile 11 when I fell. The good news is that my knee pads worked perfectly, and my knees didn’t feel a thing! The bad news is that my calf muscles stopped working, and I couldn't move my ankle for several seconds. At first, I thought it was a normal muscle cramp, but when I couldn't bend my ankle, I realized it was an "MS Moment." doesn't weaken the muscles, but rather, it is a neurological disease that attacks the brain's connection to the muscles. So while I was sitting on the course, I concentrated really hard on bending my ankle, trying to send successful brain signals through my neurons to get my muscle to move. And eventually, it did! Whew! I finally was able to get up, but the last 2.1 miles of the race took over an hour. I may have been the last finisher, but I made it! And with views like these along the bike trail, so what if it took longer than expected.

It's been almost 2 years since my diagnosis and my last half marathon. My body has gone through some crazy sh*t since then, and I had to start over from ground zero about 7 months ago. But here I am ready to try again. Thanks for the motivation. is hard.

Friends were visiting Tahoe for the first time, so I wanted to take them on my favorite hike at Mt Rose. It's mid-May. Should've brought snowshoes!

350 days of continuous walking in heat, rain, sleet, and snow. It doesn't matter how far or how fast, just that you go. I'm not back to my running baseline yet, but I know consistency will get me there. One day at a time.
