Walk up Middle Fork trail with Dan. He was carrying a heavy pack so we didn't go very fast. Left hip is achey from recent trotting. Need to figure out what to stretch. Also do some hip stabilizing strength work.
I'm proud of myself for motivating out for a little trot in the dark. Warm and windy. I made it around the south rim - panorama loop without stopping. I tried to go a little fast down the panorama hill.

It's warmed up! And we got another inch of snow. Nice trotting weather. I really need to stop eating for a couple hours before I go out tho'. Not feeling so great trotting is not made more pleasant by undigested food in the belly. Trotted on the single track. The Hive to Hornet's nest (1st half) to gasline (and decided I couldn't go home yet!!! :-) ) down Janice's Jive and back up Lower Llama to gasline and home. Trotted most except for hills on the way home. Stopped a couple times for lame reasons, but once to admire an interesting birch snag. Tried to pay attention to terrain and describe to myself the features I was seeing and what they'd look like on a map. I find that terrain really disorganized and confusing -- not sure whether it's senility, lack of aptitude, or it's actually a total jumble.
A slug-O day. Tired today, didn't do anything. I think still a bit tired from walk 2 days ago and not drinking enough water while standing around at xmas parties.
