maintaining fitness!!

I wonder if I will ever be fit enough to walk up a hill without being out of breath?!
I meant to carry on walking when I got home from Caceres but the weather was so dire in April I gave it up, then I was busy:) but yesterday I did the walk I planned, through A Fraga and up to the little chapel. The weather was ideal, drizzling a little at first but nothing serious, then sunny but with a cool breeze. I nearly tripped over some foxes in A Fraga, as usual my camera was not accessible in time, but I made for one very cross fox. I don't think I have ever heard a fox before but I'll certainly know what it is the next time I hear one. Despite the heavy rain in April I had no problem crossing the stream. It was a lovely walk. I must continue walking regularly. I am concerned about the Aragones, it is very doubtful that I will manage to walk up to Somport but I am determined to give it a good try. There is another Andaina here on 1st July, I don't normally walk in July and August but I will give that a try too, it is in the mountains, I'm sure any mountain walking will be helpful.
