Twenty-Two Cartoons to Twenty-One
Rain scrapped my trail plans, so I hiked the route I have named the calf burner. Then I gathered the kids to vote cartoons off their custom channel and we went from twenty-two down to twenty-one. Plus S out with friends, and a grill I luckily never had to uncover.
Exercise & Progress
Of course, it rained last night, and it was raining (lightly) this morning, so my plans for an actual hike (on trails) or even a trail run (also on trails) – went down the drain (har har). It's mostly that I just don't want to subject my nice running shoes to that much mud. Instead, I did a hike up to the top of the neighborhood, which is a point in a saddle between Mt. Sanderlin and Mt. Oglethorpe. I'm going to refer to this particular route as "the calf burner". It was overcast and slightly drizzly the whole time; great weather.
I got some decent photos from the hike, including one of a squished rat snake. Hanging out in the road is not a smart strategy.
I know it's cheating to weigh in after a workout, but I was at -10 pounds, which leaves me just 8 pounds to go on my 173 -> 155 journey, although I'm sure my weight will go back up as I rehydrate. But it sure feels good to see that number on the scale.
