Last Friday was my first day out hiking. The whole month of May was very busy for me, and just before I left for New York there was still tons of snow on the trails. When I returned, the snow was finally gone! I hiked Friday and Sunday and am so excited to start trail running today. I know I will need to start out slow, since I'm not quite in running shape yet, but today will be great!
I took Babsy up on both days last week, but the first day I kept her on the leash in case there was more mud than I expected. On Sunday I let her off the leash, but she did get muddy paws with the snow melt coming across the trails in a few spots. It rained pretty hard last night so hopefully it's not too muddy. I know how much she loves going off the leash and having that freedom.
I still need to invest in some trail running shoes. I found a pair on Under Armour that look neat, plus I get 50% off since they're a sponsor of USSA. I might need to buy those soon. I did buy some nice Columbia hiking shoes from www.steepandcheap.com that were just $30! Whipped those out for the first time last week, so I still need to break them in.
Also, I'm hungry.
