How lucky are we to still be able to enjoy these temps in June. Hiked counterclockwise. Took about a mile for my legs to warm up, tripped a couple times. Saw a few hikers and dogs and bike riders on the Tortoise Trail, two hikers on Valle and 5 hikers, 2 bikers on the Loop. Saw three rabbits, photos of two. Several lizards, fast little buggers.

I enjoyed the breeze off and on, mostly on. Grabbed the wrong water bottle so didn't have as much water as I like. Got a little hungry the last couple miles. At the top of Hawks Nest Trail, it was a little early for my beer so hiked another 1/2 mile to justify a 9:20AM beer, my rule is 9:30... oh well, close enough.

WATCH 7:03-9:16AM, 6.34 miles, 1596-2055 elevation. 127 avg bpm/150 max. 22% Zone 5 Max, 40% Zone 4 anaerobic, 37% Zone 3 aerobic burning 845 calories. Starting temp 71.5, sunny and 30% humidity.

For me, sometimes it's just as much about the journey as the destination.
Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled.
