7 miles and a giant poodle
I did 7 miles today and thank goodness, I didn’t see the coyote again. I was however passed by a woman and her Labradoodle. (Poodle + Lab mix, very ugly combo in my opinion). Not a good sign to get passed by a woman and a giant poodle. I was however hauling nearly 45 pounds up hill, so I have a good excuse.
Brought the rest of my new gear in the pack. My sleeping bag is synthetic and takes up much less space. the thermarest was a very light and I just rolled it up and strapped it to the pack. The new walking poles were O.K, I could have shopped around a little better for a better weight ratio. Their retractable, so thats what matters. It was very hot out and I sweat a great deal today. Actually ran out of water in my camel back. My wife and son are at the lake and I’ll be glad to see them today when they get back. I stayed here to put in some leg work on the trails. I’ll be glad when the 5th gets here cause I’m getting sick of training/working.
