I, too, think that no flavor means no nutrients. I've found generally, the bigger and prettier the berry, the worse the flavor. For example - those beautiful looking, huge strawberries from California that taste like damp cardboard.

I walked today for about half an hour...it was an effort at that. I am hungry at the wrong time and sleepy at worse times. Jet lag. I stretched then iced for about an hour afterwards and still hurt! I am seeing a foot doctor on Monday to start the process (again) of being able to move and walk painfree. Figured I'd start from the ground up.

Tomorrow I will be sitting all day in a dentist's chair. Lucky me!

I am corresponding with the "older" woman (she's 63) who is looking for hiking partners on the AT in 2008. She plans to start doing some day hikes in the VA area in Feb and March of that year, (near where she lives) then skipping over that area later, thus extending her calendar. That is something I hadn't thought of and is a great idea. It makes it that much more possible!
