Back country hiking and backpacking is my second great love. That's another pinnacle to reach for.
Mine as well. One of the really depressing things about my bone disorder is that it took away that, and trail-biking ... or at least I thought. I still cannot ride a bike easily anymore, but not only have I resumed hiking, I've got a job where patrol hiking is one of my main duties. I tell everyone "I get paid to be twelve all over again", and it's true, I feel younger for it. And -- to the point of your thread here -- it's my way of telling osteonecrosis, "Fuck you, I will do as I wish." Next up is biking, though that may have to wait for the hip replacement.
Carpe diem, brotha.
