I hiked 2 hours and 23 moving minutes and logged 5.50 miles of trail on a windy and cold morning. I started my hike at 7:00am. I saw geese, ducks, bison and three whitetail does today.

I hiked 2 hours and 27 moving minutes and logged 5.49 miles of trail on a beautiful and cold morning. I started my hike at 7:00am. I saw songbirds, geese, ducks and two groups of whitetail does today. I am sore today but had no pain while hiking but had trouble walking from the truck to the house when I got home... Hot bath time. Weather during hike:
Clear Start Temp: 27 End Temp: 47 I hiked 2 hours and 20 moving minutes and logged 5.47 miles of trail on a beautiful and cold morning. I started my hike at 7:00am. I did not see any animal other than songbirds, geese and ducks today. I assume the special hunts that have been taking place them lain down, in the back country and not moving around. This hike marks the beginning of the 45-Day Challenge. I already have sore ankles... Only 44-days to go! Vertical Divider

Light Clouds Start Temp: 27 End Temp: 45 45-Day Challenge Four years ago I retired and successfully complete a 40-day hiking challenge. Like then I went to the doctor for my annual physical and received a passing grade but my blood pressure was higher than it should have been. (I have gained around 20 pounds during the Covid isolation). Armed with this information I decided to challenge myself to 45-days of trail hiking. I am doing this for same reasons I did the 40-day challenge when I retired, including mental and physical health as well as to get my mind focused and committed to better health. The challenge includes a commitment to not let weather, pain, injuries or anything else keep me from the goal of hiking a minimum of 2-hours a day or 6-miles on trail, with pavement and any form of bicycle riding or walking on pavement not counting. I will drink no form of alcohol during the challenge. The 45-days will end on my 66th birthday..... 𝑻𝒐 𝒘𝒂𝒍𝒌 𝒊𝒏 𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒂 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒊𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒍𝒆𝒔. |
