Last Training Hike in the bag

I decided to get out and stretch my legs on one last training hike before the big day! It wasn’t as exciting or as grand as I was hoping but nursing my stiff hip had to come first. I’m just happy I was able to get out on trail! The pain was mostly gone during my hike, thankfully but I’m feeling my earlier movement now that I’m home and resting. 

I had originally planned a 10 mile hike for today but stopped just short of 7. I wore a 24lb pack with ease. It felt nice to lighten the load a bit! No need to overdo anything. I’m happy with my progress. 

The trail was quiet. A few icy spots but overall a pretty great day! This hike is one of my favourite hikes to do on a busy day! The mountains even had a dusting of snow today!

Time to buckle down and complete a myriad of ongoing tasks before my flight this weekend.
