Catching Up - Weeks 1 & 2

So, we're a little far behind getting this blog going. We plan to post new info every couple of days, but for now, we'll jump straight to catching you up.

Our first hike was Saturday, 07 May. We hiked Mission Trails, starting at Mission Dam and Flume, took a small detour on the grasslands route (a little too easy), and made our way back to the N Fortuna trail. Check out our interactive map to see the route. We enjoyed a lovely snack that momma bear (Tracy) brought at the summit of N Fortuna / 1,291 feet - only 13,214 ft less than Mt. Whitney!, we then hiked back down taking the Oak Canyon Trail out.
Hiked: 6.25 miles / Time: 2.5 hours / Calories burned: avg 1300

Our second hike (first weekday) was from Lake Poway to Mt Woodson after work. Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to make it to the top as Lake Poway's lovely park rangers lock your car inside promptly at 7:45. But we still had a great hike and even brought along our first guest hiker.
Hiked: 4 miles / Time: 1.5 hours / Calories: avg 920

That Thursday, Kerry and Tracy did our first stair training day as Cheryl enjoyed dirty martinis in Vegas.
Those steps are worse than they look!! The little rocks help us keep track of our laps :)

On Saturday, 14 May, Tracy and Kerry headed to Cowles Mtn (another path at Missions Trails) while Cheryl was enjoying poolside margaritas. They intended to hike 9 miles, but the ambitious Kerry also hiked Iron Mtn the day before, so they enjoyed a shorter trail.
Hiked: 3 miles / Time: 1 hr 15 mins / Calories: Not tracked

This past Tuesday, Cheryl and Kerry headed for some step training while Tracy got prepped for her new eyes. Calves still hurting... Today, Kerry and Cheryl will hike the other side of Mt. Woodson, the Old Fry-Koegle trail starting from Hwy 67. Tracy will be having her eyes lasered so she can finally see the beautiful trails we're hiking!

Sorry for the long post but we are up to speed - stay tuned!
