I don’t know what happened but something flipped the switch. I think it’s all the fitness magazines that I’ve been looking at (lol)... been doing a couple of miles for a while now, usually pretty slow. A couple days ago I really felt the urge to do two different trails and spend a lot of time in Malibu. The key is to get there late on a colder day and to hike till it gets dark. That way I miss traffic on the way home and the entire day just “flows” :))))
So I did part of the backbone trail for a while (mostly taking pictures) probably a mile total (great warm up) and then drove to another spot and conquered the hill! The loop was 2.5 miles (a bit more than I remember) with a 450 ft gain. That meant that I had to PUSH to get back to my car before dark.
In hindsight I realize that I was following my intuition…. I really really really wanted to do each of these trails, and to just keep going and going. I want to prepare for a 4 miles hike in the mountains so now I have a REAL reason to get back on track and push harder, get back into shape.
Yea! I’m back on track!!
Hiking rocks! (haha)
