Its primary characteristic is an intolerance to exertion - basically, exercise makes me much sicker. Lots of meds & very careful, gradual exercise have built up my stamina so that I can walk or hike now! Yay! Generally, 1 mile is my limit, and I wear a heart rate monitor & stop to rest when I need to. So - long answer, sorry! - this particuar hike was 1.4 miles which was a personal best for me since getting sick - plus gorgeous views! Long way from the multi-day backpacking we used to do, but I am thrilled to be outdoors hiking! There are lots of hikes at Shenandoah that are shorter - great for kids!!Sue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-22325244899509363972016-07-17T14:42:32.144-04:002016-07-17T14:42:32.144-04:00We love National Parks, Margot, & have visited...We love National Parks, Margot, & have visited them all over the country...but Shenandoah is the only one within easy driving distance of home, so we've visited a lot!
