Back On The Trails...Sort Of

the recovery progress is still going for my aching back...however, I was feeling frisky enough to head over to Jug Bay this morning for a hike on the trails...the cool, quiet conditions were just what I am used to for September...my favorite time of year for running happens to be September and October...I hiked 3.4 miles in 1:08:39...included some hills...didn't have to stop to rest my back and was able to maintain a comfortable pace...the trails were a little damp and I saw a snake of some kind slithering across a section of trail...I did have the urge to break out into a trot, but resisted...there was some soreness in my leg/knee afterward, but not too bad...all in all a small step in the right direction!
