Urban Hiking- 322 Days Left

I am hesitant to call today a "hike", it was more like a haphazard walk around my neighborhood looking for a trail. After forgetting how to get to the Victory Trail head i ended up walking through some very nice neighborhoods in the hills surrounding my home. I did a good amount of walking (about 3 miles) and while it was relaxed, paved and only at a slight grade, i did work up a bit of a sweat and so i would say it was worth the while.

I found a really cool website today: www.mapmyhike.com It's a great resource for the digital age. Not only does it allow you to search for hiking trails and record your progress, but it allows you to map your hikes... like mine from today:

It's nice to see your trail laid out for you especially if it was a kind of last minute hike like mine was!

Well, I have kind of gotten off of my Saturday morning schedule (this weekend i was sick) but thankfully i've been able to fit in at least one hike a week weather it be Saturday or not.

I'm hoping i can get another hike/walk in this week and then (fingers crossed) i'll be back to my Saturday schedule this coming weekend.
