    So excited, we're heading over to a state park tomorrow and going for a nice longer hike (that means over a mile for me). There's a trail that follows the river, I haven't been able to hike it in the last 3-4 years, I can't wait!

    Can't wait to hear about your hike, Pax.
    We've had a bout of rain, which we need, so I went to a tabata class this morning. I have figured out why I have had less motivation to ride in the past 6 weeks or so. Usually, when I get to the end of October, I look forward to hiking, the gym, and getting ready for x country ski season. But this past year, I rode through the winter, with a lot of riding last October, November, and December. So, I kind of felt like I usually do now, in September. I am OK with it, too! Instead, I did more hiking at the height of the season, which has helped my balance and dexterity greatly. I noticed this in my tabata class today.

    WOO HOO, I did it!!!!! It was probably only a mile total and I had to switch over to a different trail at one point, but it was amazing!! On both trails I could only go so far because of steep sections that were slippery with leaves, but I still managed some elevation changes and some tight single track type stuff; my poles were worth their weight in gold, I almost felt like a normal person.

    Thank you. I stopped at one point and just cried, I've missed it all so much.
