More Walking...

Last night, after gaming, I walked to Jason's house. He says it is a little more than a mile from his house to the plaza, and it is about half a mile from my house to the plaza, plus I took a trip around the field and a slight Northern detour on the way home. That should be at least 3.5 miles last night. By the end of it my back was feeling sore, and I was feeling tired, so I know I put some effort in. I haven't done much since the surgery, with last night being only my sixth time out walking or hiking since August 5th, but things are looking up.

Getting Back Into It...

Tonight I walked 1.33 miles around the track, and another 1.5 or so miles getting to the track the long way and then detouring to Cooney's. Last night I walked 2.5 miles, so it was a tad bit of improvement.

I didn't hike on Sunday because I slept in after responding to a 04:30 alarm call at work. I didn't hike the Sunday before because I was too sore from the Saturday hike. I forget what the mileage was on the Saturday hike. But now I've done this two days in a row, which is progress!

Hiking Soon!

I seem to have packed up 11.6 kg of stuff. I'm carrying extra things that I don't need to make the pack heavier, such as two hammocks and my largest tarp. I also have three liters of water for a hike that is planned to be 4km.

4km Walk And Jacket Failure And Sunday Plans

I did a 4km walk since I last posted. Not much, but it still hurts when I do certain things.

I also discovered that my new jacket appears to have remained in Turkey Creek. I'm pretty sure I lost it after getting hit by the rock. I needed to get stuff out of my pack in the aftermath, and I apparently didn't put it back in. I don't remember losing it, so this is just a guess though based on the fact it was the most likely time for it to have happened. So now I need to replace it already, which sucks.

Sunday, coming up, I want to hit Copper Canyon again. But I have yoga class at 13:00. So I'm suspecting Copper will be an extra-early start and we will try to rush it. I'll pack super-light (hammock and water) to facilitate this.
