It's been two weeks since my last hike and boy did I feel it. I'm feeling like an old animal when it comes to hiking... you know, when you occasionally have a good hike and think all is well. Not today. But I got 'er done. I did do lots of walking when I was in San Antonio. This week I did a 'hood walk yesterday and three workouts (definitely sore from those), but it didn't seem to help the hiking, sheesh!

My hike started out by smelling the roses

, literally. The house's garden where I parked, the roses were blooming. Next up was a hummingbird above the trail that looked like it had two different colors, yellow and purplish. A mesquite tree was full of those velvet blooms. I changed my planned route and hiked my little quarter western loop and then around Lookout in a clockwise fashion to the western saddle and heading around northside. Lots of folks out this morning. Chatted with one gentleman who said he hikes it twice a week and comes from Glendale because he likes it so much.

And sad news to report, Q-Trip doesn't have the frozen capuccionos anymore . I had to resort to a frappe from their kitchen. It was good, but I don't want to wait for them to make it. I just want to pour and go.

Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled.
