The Hike
Ending July the same way I started - at The Tourne! It was a nice day in the low 80s with sun and slight humidity and a slighter breeze, but not too bad at all. I decided I would keep it chill and not race for Strava (I was solidly the local legend, anyway) and my watch was in a WEIRD mood. The charging cord is dying so I think it gaslight my watch into thinking that it was fully charged? I knew it wasn't, but alas... (I had to do a full reset to get it to show the actual percentage which was a bummer but all turned out okay!). My shoes were a little sweaty from yesterday still and my body was a little sore, but no day like today!
Yet again I put on the Wicked soundtrack for my loops and loved every moment. It was warm in the sun and lovely in the shade - it reminded me of Band Camp in August (yikes). I felt heavier than usual on my third lap but made it up with a short break at the top. I wanted to get a fourth lap in but my mind and body were simply not feeling it, and that's okay! I realized I didn't take a single photo on this hike, so here we are.
