so, it’s been a full year since i started keeping track of my walking/hiking. as i say up above, it started out as my 2012 new year’s resolution to just go out and move and it turned into an addiction, with almost 600 miles walked on 146 days. i’ve never been an “exerciser.” never played […]

4.25 miles ★★★★½ this is the usual suspects hike we attempted at the end of november. wow, very strenuous. we had an almost bad injury (slip and fall against a rock), but survived. it’s a very beautiful trip, though, and i’d like to do it again. and just a note for those who might be […]
