| no partners | | Alexa says: 90 and 49, "yep, I can do that". I chose this area as I have lots of options depending on how I'm doing. I just wanted to get around five miles in if I could. I also like this area as I don't have to worry so much about running into snakes.
It was overcast so that meant no hat, no sunglasses! I did bring my little umbrella just in case. I kind of had a sense of what route I wanted to take. I was hoping I would feel up to VOAZ but the breeze wasn't blowing in the right direction for that. There were moments when it was almost delightful out there with the key word being "moments", ha!
I basically hiked to the south of Happy Hour Ridge and over to 1A and back on 100 to meet up with 8 passing by two horseshoe options. I saw maybe 8 hikers, some with dogs and 1/2 dozen bikers. On the way back as I neared the wash areas the cicadas were most vocal and I did see a few quail out for their morning stroll. I was obviously a little slower but it was humid out there  . But something is better than nothing.
On the drive in a bunny scampered across the road in front of me, don't know why they don't scamper the opposite direction. On the drive out I saw a very little bunny and a little squirrel. I stopped by Q-Trip for my frozen cappuccino, had to get the other flavor as the one I normally get was broken. I couldn't resist the giant maple bar either. It had started to sprinkle and when I got home I could see it had rained pretty good  .
WATCH: 4.61 miles with avg bpm 123, max 162 (10% at Max, 36% at anaerobic, the rest at aerobic) burning 597 calories. Starting temp 86 and 54% humidity finishing at 8:57AM. |

For me, sometimes it's just as much about the journey as the destination.
Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled. |
