Day 27

It was a beautiful, sunny day out today!!

I went for a hike. A large portion of the trail was pretty straight up, but it was really nice. The trails were a little muddy, but not too bad, for the most part!

I ended up taking a wrong turn on a trail. Well, that's not entirely right. I think the problem was that I didn't turn! I went up one way to the peak, it would have been a 2 mile round trip, but I decided to take a different trail back. Instead of turning off my alternate trail to head back toward the parking lot where my car was, I headed further away toward the golf course. Finally, I backtracked a quarter of a mile (or less) and made my way back toward the direction of the car.

My 2 mile hike turned into about 5.5 miles. I was slightly muddy, having stuck my foot into a mushy area ... no, I did not fall ... the mud was only on my shoes and pant leg!! I spent 2 hours on the trail, and burned 1001 calories.

It was so nice being out in the fresh air, getting exercise ... working up a sweat!! Oh yeah!!
