A very light mist kept the temperature cool and kept me in a peaceful zen-state.

I wanted to do 10 miles, but my legs were tight and I hit the bonk point at 6.  Not enough gas in the tank...

I decided to start walking more regularly, like I used to, so I went back to my old neighborhood park and did 6 short laps on a beautiful Spring day.  I was pleased to see three new exercise stations along the trail.

New Year's Resolution = To Start Hiking Again And Get In Shape!

Did 10 laps at the park and realized how heavy and out of shape I am, lol.  Felt good to be exercising again, though.

Went back to my "old" neighborhood park to get some exercise after the rain had stopped.  10 short loops at a brisk pace.  Very humid.  Finished just in time before the rain resumed.

Hit the park to do 10 short loops at a brisk pace.  Trying to work off the extra weight I've put on since I've cut back on my hiking and trying to get in better shape.

On my way to the New Orleans Mardi Gras next weekend where I plan to hike a big chunk of Tammany Trace with my girlfriend, so I decided to do some LSD (long, slow, distance - ;that is, 20 laps) at my neighborhood park to prep my body and joints.
