I failed my VGH spirometry test .... nine years ago ...

..... or so I thought,     .... I walked home to NE of Lonsdale and ULH to prove it otherwise

 

 with elevation gains, losses at Marine Drive, and more gains

 

************************** 

Blue line walk: Cates Park (sea level) 

 


  ***********************

2016 was a VERY good year, more walks than all the subsequent years  



ps    I didn't really 'fail' the WCB spirometry test, but I felt absolutely breathless afterwards, and, so, I challenged myself to take the next step(s)

 

Here's two months worth of 2016, daily, back then 


 And all because of being exposed to Asbestos at Burrard Dry Dock

 

Never smoked

 and

I'd swear that Burrard Dry Dock owners had shares in the cotton industry. ... because they provided cotton masks against asbestos and cotton batten for ear protection.   


And just remember, the next time you go to the Fish Hatchery on the Capilano River, the Cable Suspension Bridge there, is free.

If you stand in the middle, and hopefully there are a few visitor nearby, do a bit of a bounce downwards. 

The whole structure will shake. 

And Yes, I have crossed this bridge, many times.

 Aqua is Thursday. Red is Monday

Nine years?

And so many miles.

And even more elevation.

Good on you NVG!
