Backpack trial run!
A whole new kind of hot
me in a backpack
Yes I’m wearing the real thing
trial run as we are Training for a Big Hike
and
a mighty hot piece of
equipment it is too.
puff and huff
sweat all over stuff
This is fun, we tell ourselves
like a mantra.
Couple more days until
we hike Haleakala Crater.
LOL, I remember that mantra: This is fun, I AM having fun, I’m never doing this again, but I am having FUN, my feet hurt, my muscles ache and I’m drenched in sweat, but this is SO much fun…
The funny thing was that once the body aches subsided and I looked back at the experience, I did have fond memories. Enjoy your hike, Toby! (why am I suspecting that your next book will involve a rigorous hike??)
Ha! Cheryl Strayed has nothing on you, babe!
Erm. Didn’t you do that crater hike already? Or am I just suffering from old?
Yes? Did you go back in time?
