Hiking in Iceland

I got back on June 27th from my 12 days hiking in Iceland and I did fine. I did wear my knee brace on the advice of a doctor friend on the trip and it helps by reminding me that I do have a problem with my knee and need to watch where I put my foot. Have begun my training again but know that I need to do a couple of 15 + mile walks in the next 7 weeks but it is hard to do in Rome as it is so hot. I am in the mountains now but am afraid to get out in the woods for that long as we are having a real problem with the bears. Guess I will just have to do several of my usual 6 mile routes in Rome by doig them back to back. Hey, good idea Marie! If I can do my Berry route back to back, 13 miles, then I will be good as it is hot as hades so that balances out not going to 20 miles. Don't have the time this week as Paige and boys are coming on Tuesday but will do it beginning the 12th.
