| no partners | | Saturday: from bottom of hill took little loop west and then back east to circle the mountain clockwise. Passed a hiker before heading south and then crossed paths with her as I headed east. We would run into each other two more times. Probably 1/2 dozen hikers out enjoying the afternoon. I didn't have to go to the Park. One of the crooked Compass Cactuses was uprooted, one more still hanging on. Saw big billowing of black smoke turning to white smoke; tested out the 30x. Whatever it was, it was quickly gone.
Saw two lizards, two budding Pinchushion cactus and one blooming Compass cactus. I still can't believe I have not seen one poppy this year. I wonder, have we never had a wildflower season in the valley? Even the Brittlebush didn't bloom for the most part.
WATCH 3.54 mi, 3:48-5:03PM, 1463-1703 elevation, 140 avg bpm/166 max, (66% Zone 5 max, 31% Zone 4 anerobic) burning 548 calories. TEMP 75.1, sunny, 18% humidity with 11.2 mph gusts from the west.
SUNDAY: From the bottom of the hill, I went counterclockwise around the circumference. One of these times I will have to follow the signs for the actual Circumference trail. There was a very nice western breeze that accompanied me on the first 1/4 mile. I enjoyed that immensely.
Today, some of the climbs that I normally think of a tad steep for me, really weren't. And I heard the Easter Bunny at the first mile and the bleeting lamb on the second. I saw two quail and a Piper; not many hikers, one biker. Noticed another blooming Compass cactus on the east side.
WATCH 3.54 miles, 11:18AM-12:34PM, 1479-1735 elevation, 137 avg bmp/159 max (56% Zone 5 max, 37% Zone 4 anaerobic, 7% Zone 3 aerobic) burning 541 calories. TEMP 75.1, 19% humidity, 3.7mph wind from SSW.
It's interesting that with my WATCH stats, the route I did Sunday counterclockwise, that I consider the slightly harder way, gave me lower stats. Also, the temp was exactly the same but at different times of day. The calories burned were very similar. |

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. |
