Alright, so I couldn't wait to share the news that I hit my goal, so this entry is a tad anti-climatic. But nonetheless here are some year end stats for 2006:
Goal: 600 miles
Final total miles: 605 miles
Month with fewest miles: August (19 miles)
Month with the most miles: Tie between November and December (77 miles each) The Big Push!
Longest individual hike: February 24, in Rochester, NY hiked down the Genesee River past R.I.T. and back to our apartment downtown, 15 miles.
So there you are.
My 2007 goal will remain at 600 miles with the only twist being that I'm going to get into the woods and mountains more often and take some weekend trips out of the city. Virginia has lots of great hiking, unfortunately it's all three hours or more away from where I live on the coast.
It's a beautiful, unusually warm and sunny day today, so if you'll excuse me, time to lace up the boots.
OK HW
