Got my hike in! My new outdoor buddy Sara and I hiked 14 miles in about 6 hours today. 3 hours out, lunch, 3 hours back. I must say I am now a huge fan of trekking poles for hiking-- we'll see how I feel tomorrow when my back and tri's are screaming--but they totally stabilize you as you walk on uneven ground, save your knees on downhills and help you power on the uphills. Sara is a runner in training for a marathon so I was worried I'd slow her down, but I had POLES and she's about my height so I was ok.
Here I am with Archie the Lab Lab. He has boundless energy.
The woods along the trail were filled with wild blueberries. What could be better than perfect weather, a long hike, a happy dog and handfuls of antioxidant rich organic snacks all along the trail?
