what a day! i found a trailhead not the one i was looking for, but a great trail i hiked 2hrs in 1:45 non-stop before i needed a breath my lungs were burning so i knew i was getting in good cardio it was all an incline the whole way up someplaces i couldn't tell where the trail existed due to the boulders and mountainside i was climbing haven't had such an adventure hiking in a very long time after a 20min lunch i continued the hike another 15mins to the next trailhead met some hikers who were doing a loop from the trail i've been searching they showed me the map and gave me a good indication as to where it's located the loop will be about 4-5hrs to do it's pretty rugged and i wonder if Jimmy can make it however, there were plenty of hikers with their dogs on this trail today, so i'm definitely giving it a shot on monday with Jimmy i was damn pleased with myself realizing i'm not as out of shape as first thought i think with Jimmy i'm going at a faster pace will test that theory this next week as i take him along on this trail this will be a regular hike for me and great workout i'll do it at least 3times per week, up to 5times per week today's hike felt like one days walking delivering mail it's harder on my bad knee, but i'll endure the pain i love hiking too much to stop at this time in my life and besides i just got a refill on Naproxen for my knee pain, that will help ...it was a beautiful hike wish i had my camera today i got high enough to overlook the city as well as in another direction a small town just outside abq now i just need to condition myself with these trails, then take off on other trails this trail today was an adventure on the way down i was even sliding on my ass at one point while wondering how the hell did i get up it will take my hiking stick next time for the descent must figure out a way to strengthen both knees too they both hurt on the way down at times anyways i had a great day i also came home to an empty house again kyle had departed before i left he arrived home today just as i was leaving couldn't have had a better day other than my state tax return showing up that would have been the icing on the cake!

LOL that was a pretty darned full day, with a whole lot of adventure! You got a lot done in 24 hours. So I guess the tax return didn't ruin the day.
But I hope you do get the cake icing, nonetheless! Check that mailbox!
