Another day, another Tumamoc hike!
Yesterday's trip was splendid and it was just what I needed to get my week started on the right foot. Yesterday I was able to trim 5 minutes off of my usual hike which is a small improvement, but an improvement nonetheless.
Yesterday's view was unreal. The sky was full of pinks and purples. The wind was stronger than usual and the nature that surrounded me was greener.
I thought about work my first few minutes of the hike then I reminded myself that I was there to escape that. I began to observe those around me. Many visitors not wearing masks per usual and lots of kids laughing and having fun as they made the hike up with their family.
I could hear the bugs in bushes, the ice splashing around in my hydro and the heavy breathing of those around me. I thought about my legs being sore from my workout the day before. I thought about the smoothie I was going to make once I got home. I thought about the beautiful sky above me and the mountain below my feet. I thought about how wonderful my day had been and how happy I was to be there.
