So I did my hike this morning

4.77 miles
11477 steps
92 flights of stairs
832ft Elevation change

1107 calories burned.

And I said it was gun show time, even though they suck lol!

This is at the top of the steep elevation hike:

    You can see the trail going up over my left shoulder

    Mike, do you have a carry permit for those guns? :laugh: I took a hike with about that same elevation a few months ago and my calves protested for 3 days.

    hey, fyi....when i did my girly mudder, i wore a wide wrist band (a sweatband) over my watch and it came out just fine. a little wet but not muddy. i was wary of the dirt particles getting into crevices and such...on the watch. the chest strap was aces too.

    I promised to post these so here they are:

    June 23, 2012...Whistler's Summit, Jasper AB 4100 ft Elevation gained in 4 hrs (would have been less, but the snow covered the trail above the treeline so we had to make our own trail the last hour) 19000 steps - over 2000 cals burned. And guess what?? NO DOMS!!! NSV! :drinker:

    Those sound AWESOME!! I love this phrase in one of the descriptors of the sheer drop offs where the guard rails are: "Don't bring along any friends whose medication has led them to believe they can fly." :laugh:

    hahah ya, classic.
  • Got to do a good hike yesterday....Maunawili Falls hike. Elevation climb of 500ft in 1.3 miles, roundtrip 2.6 miles in way too many hours but I estimated about 2 hours of good steady hiking - so that gives you an idea of the terrain it took 1 hr to go 1.3 miles! Muddy, rocky, rooty (is that a word? lol lots of big tree roots), river crossings, stairs, some bouldering....a good time over all!

    Unfortunately, no pics because I couldn't safely carry electronics down to the waterfall pool.
  • Love it! Del Valle? We love to hike! Maybe once I'm cleared to do that again we can do a MFP Livermore hike!!! ;)
