I had a lot of work to do today but I was able to squeeze in a short hike at lunch and a longer one after work. Both were great. This was the view from the later walk. I followed the route markers for the “scenic” canyon trail. It didn’t disappoint.
Tomorrow I teach fewer classes, but I have meetings which means I probably won’t get to go skiing. Sort of bummed, but work comes first, and I’ll be able to ski all weekend if I want.
I really would like to take a rest day. My body aches. It would be better to take a rest day, but I don’t want to waste a day. I won’t get to hike, mountain bike and ski once I’m back in Chicago. I can, however, take rests days there. I might just go for a short run (not in the mountains). I’ll see what the weather is and how I’m feeling. A leisurely bike ride might be good too. Maybe put the bike in the car and explore some other area of town.
