Image for 3/20/11 - The Hiking Report

I upped my hiking goal for 2011 from 650 to 700 miles. So far, I am keeping up with the extra miles. Today I did a six mile hike with my backpack on (about 17 pounds in the pack). I have a big hike coming up in May and will have to carry the pack, so training time. It felt good to get the carry the weight, could feel different muscle groups getting some heat. We'll see how I'm feeling in the morning. I've hit 166 miles for the year thus far, only 534 to go.

OK HW

  4. So if you started the hike off with 17 pounds of Guinness in your pack what did you end with, 1/2 pound of tin cans?

  6. You're a machine! Sometimes I feel like the only commitment goal I could meet is record number of forced hours in front of the computer.
    Perhaps I could take a lesson from you...

  7. @COGfoto- 17 pounds is about 34 cans. Not nearly enough for a ten day trip. :)

    @EJ2EJ- Thanks' man.

    @Laura- Hiking feeds my soul, body and mind. It rejuvenates me for all the computer time. I hope we all get a chance to hike together sometime.

    Thank you all for looking at my blog.

    OK HW
