Kili in 2007

It was a nice day today and I decided to take April and the baby out on my hike today. Did a short little 3 mile hike. Had the baby in a bjorn carrier on my chest and about ten pounds in a back pack. So it was pretty close to my pack weight (30 pounds verses 40 pounds). We did a flat part of the white trail and then stopped at Maggies Glenn for a rest.

She had some cuts on her arm , but had a huge knot develop on her Ankle (like where a musle rolls up). She said she felt a tear and she may have really torn a muscle. We iced it tonight and she is taking it easy. Later on I went for a light jog and lifted some weight when we got home.

Life has gone by fast since that day, strange to think of it that long ago.

I went out to Oak Mountain today for the fourth weekend in a row. I've begun learning the trails and taking the more difficult ones to get in better shape. Walked the White trail today and climbed a large hill ... [Continue reading this entry]
