Hike in the park!

I'm taking it easy but I've actually done two hikes lately- I hiked up a small mountain on Thursday (about 200 feet up, maybe 1.5 miles of walking) and today I went to the park with the dog and walked about 30 minutes.

I feel pretty good. I have a little sock-like thing that helps to keep my foot from flattening too much or something. It really really helps.

I was supposed to rest this week, as there are few weeks left and I must heal, but it hasn't seemed to happen, what with fieldwork and stuff.

I'm back? Hike in the park

Hiked/walked today in the park with the dog. 25 minutes.

Finally given the OK to walk around a normal amount by the doc. Heels are better now, but the problem of an odd muscle on the inner sole of my foot near my heel remains. Didn't have any pain during the walk though, which is good!

I can't wait to start training more, but I have to take it slow or I risk going back to square one.

Canyon hike

Hiked today in a little canyon near Palm Springs. Didn't hurt that it was gorgeous!

5 miles, 450 feet elevation, including a little bit of scrambling and climbing on ladders. Lots of fun.

Hike with Dog

Did a quick hike (25 minutes) this morning in the park with the dog in addition to my normal 25 minute walk.

Icehouse Canyon Hike

1.5 hours; about 3 miles; 1100 ft. Did this hike today with a friend. We had to turn around due to time, but we both felt pretty good and could have gone on much longer. Thank goodness for the hiking poles- there was some ice here and there on the trail. We kept a slow and steady pace that was comfortable for us. Luckily the temperatures were in the 50's so it was a nice temp.

I think we will be ready in two months!

Park Hike

I took my dog to the park. 35 minutes at a steady pace, with some downhill and uphill.

Hiking/walking Campus

I walked uphill to the highest point on campus today. It was about a 30 minute walk, counting as "hiking" only because it was a dirt trail- I guess requiring some degree of stabilizing, as opposed to walking on pavement up a mountain.
It was fun but tough-- it's 400 feet in about 1 mile. Polly and Kai beat me uphill, but I think I did just fine. Hopefully it will get easier! Nice to have a place to go that is close and can be done while working.

Hike in Joshua Tree

Hiked for 3 miles in Joshua Tree, plus some wandering around and climbing on rocks. Probably 4 miles total. Not much, but it was at (ever-so-slight) elevation :).

Hike in Park

Well it was a long walk, so I'll count it. About 40 minutes of walking in the park with Lolo. A little challenging after the yoga, but not too much. I was just worried I'd be sore, but none yet.

Hike

Hiked today with Lolo in Sycamore Canyon. 45 minutes. Probably 2 miles, uphill, then back down.
