Loud Screaming

Protest

OMG. It is three o’clock in the morning in our hotel in Fort William. Loud screaming. Can not sleep. Something awful must be happening. Try to ignore it. Can’t. What to do? Roll over? Get up? Must be awful.

Awful indeed. Mike’s muscles are “screaming” in protest to his almost 5,000 foot elevation gain summiting Ben Nevis yesterday. He is awake, uncomfortable, and unable to get back to sleep. Not just his leg muscles. Also, since he makes proper use of trekking poles, his arms and shoulder muscles too. With the uneven terrain, foot muscles as well. Yes, he is quite physically fit. No matter. He is no spring chicken (see photo). He overdid it. No matter, he is quite pleased with himself. Thank goodness Beth brought Ibuprofen.
