Monday Hike and Massage

Up early to hike today. 

I really like solo hiking, but "training" for the 2 upcoming BIG hikes isn't particularly fun, feels more like an obligation. It's daunting to have hours and hours of solo hiking ahead. I don't wear headphones so it's me and my thoughts for miles and miles. After a couple of hours, I get bored with myself lol. 

My hiking buddy who's training for a big spring trip is back from travel this week. I hope she's up for some hiking. She usually hikes half the mileage with me and that would be great to have the company. Tuesday hiking group is too slow these days.

BTW, it ended up mist raining all morning so a hike on granite wasn't for me after all. I would love to have this hike behind me, but, alas, I'll get to it this morning ... all by myself (like the song). 

That said, I have a pretty nice week ahead. It's a good balance.

After the hike this morning, I'm doing a quick turnaround and heading to a massage. I've been booking monthly to see if this helps all the parts stay limber. It certainly feels good.

No pictures finds yesterday. 

I'll look today.

First go of the new, new car this morning. Pretty please no replay of the last time I tried to drive it. This is my first time driving it and I'll start in the dark. I haven't seen the headlights yet -- have to be better than my last car. 

Okay, best get moving. 

I'm starting the hike at barely first light. 

We need the time change to happen. 

Have a good Monday and start to the week.

Later gators.
