Hello all,
There were only 3 TOWNIES today who completed a very hot and humid hike on the Greenbelt. Our canine friends had enough sense and stayed home. Despite the heat, Debbie, Kim and Marsha were able to traverse 4.4 miles over rain-marked trails that reflected the 0.1 rain that had fallen the night before. The rain was so enticing when it did fall that both Debbie and Marsha woke up to actually listen to something so foreign to us as of late.
The rain did not really help the drought as the land was still parched, the soil still cracks, and the Creek had no water. We passed a few cyclist and a few hikers but really we had the area to ourselves today.
It was more hot and humid than normal, so as a lark I weighed myself when I came home and had lost 2.8 pounds in sweat, or maybe extreme glowing. I would not recommend this for weight loss. We did do an extra looping trail today and tried to get some hills for Debbie who is still planning her hike to Peru.
I like to think of this as the TOWNIE cross fit program.
Until next time…..
Happy Trails, Marsha
