Today was a hike in Aliso Canyon on what Sam calls "the bunny trail." (there are a lot of bunnies in the canyon, hopefully hiding away from the hawks and owls). It was a mercy day, a break from "brutal" training yesterday, which will be an every-other-day kind of fun. I also went out yesterday with Caprica and herded for about an hour...walking backwards at a rapid pace is more difficult than you think, especially if you're an oaf like me. So felt very righteous...until i began to feel the effects of yesterday's work. ow. But slept great last night, and wasn't so happy to hear the alarm at 6 this morning. But that's the better part of working out with friends, you feel a responsibility to show up. The canyon was beautiful, just off Rinaldi and about two minutes in you'd never believe you were right off the freeway. After a few minutes' walking, i warmed up enough not to notice so much of yesterday's sore quads and began to enjoy the surroundings. Came out of it a nasty mess, a little incident with a lost cat, and stopped for coffee at sbux on the way home, only to run into a former student/barista when i was sweat-drenched and red-faced. Nobody ever runs into you when you're nicely dressed and made up, y'know? A good day!
