Hiking as cross-training

It was one of the more challenging climbs I’ve done.

The smartwatch was yelling at me yesterday, my hips and glutes are having a firm, internal discussion with me today.

On the map below, I did the outermost loop in counter-clockwise fashion.

And yes, I now realize that I need to go back to take a picture of the Crooked Tree rather than just resting on it until my heart found its way back into my chest.
