Sunday Morning
I think today is the day for light walking/exercise.
My legs are impressed by the 3-day-in-row Tiger Mountain scaling experience.
I bought the new boots and have used them twice on Tiger. They have NOT blistered or broken in my feet! I am excited for this aspect.
So, 3 days in a row is pretty good. I decided to run down the switchback trail instead of the straight up and down cable line trail... this proved kinder on my bruised toenails. And I feel like I got more of a work out in general. It's longer and has flat areas. So running on it is not an entire downhill descent.
My new method MAY very well be, when I am not fighting daylight failing - hiking up the cable line steepness and running down the mellower slope of the switchback trail, which also enables that I work harder on the downhill portion. Also read; less risk for falling and hurting myself as well.
I'd write more but I think I want to go shopping and get out of the apartment. Jimmy is at work. And he needs more boxers. I should have bought the ones I saw at Costco the other day, but I figured it'd fall under the "weird girlfriend" clause to actually buy underwear FOR him. And then what happens? I come here this weekend and he is talking about how he needs more. Pshaw. The ones I saw were just the kind he likes too...
I would just like to announce it has been pleasant to hit the trail this last week. Even if it was hard to get out earlier in the week due to evening constraints.
