a nice clockwise lasso loop out on the Preserve today. Temp was delightful with a slight breeze. Trail is in good shape. I kicked off some rocks and cleared some branch debris. The climb up Ridgeback went well. Saw no one on the backside of the loop. Joe's Leprachaun snake spook scared the Irish right out of me; especially when I'm listening to a podcast and can't quite discern the sound initially.

Mother Nature had her paintbrush out; always enjoy that. Not many folks out hiking or biking. I probably saw more bikers. No lizards or anything.

WATCH: 4.37 mi, 2:29-3:51PM, 132 bpm/161 max (40% Zone 5 max, 39% Zone 4 anaerobic, 20% Zone 3 aerobic) burning 557 calories, 1686-2086 elevation. A lovely 73.3 with 24% humidity, gusts at 180mph from the south (I mean 18 mph).

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.
