Training Log: Lori

Hiking with Sam and Presto up Hunter Mountain! We were planning to go to the southern Adirondacks yesterday, but I spent the entire day grading Friday and Saturday (and by that I mean like 13 hours of grading per day). After not really enough sleep, we decided it was time for a hike to celebrate me almost being done, so we headed out to the Catskills today. It was a warm, but nice day for a hike. The black flies were out (or I assume that's what they are), so that was annoying, but otherwise, it was a really pleasant hike, with some good views from the fire tower at the summit and a (cold) jump into a stream back at the car. Presto seemed really tired on the way down, but was clearly still having a good time, and then was bounding around the house like a puppy when we got home, so I guess he's still up for mountains :-).

Normal stretching back home. We timed this hike perfectly because we hiked in gorgeous sunny weather, and it started thunderstorming and raining about 5 minutes after we got in the car to go home.
