Actually hiked 15.5 miles today with Mik'L down the West Rim Trail in Zion. Hiking time was 5:06 and actual time was 6:15 (we stopped for pic's and lunch). Because of the TOFM (time on feet moving) I'll call it a 5 mile run for the blogs sake. Actually I'm sore. More sore than when I ran it last week in just over 2 hours. So go figure. We had a great time and actually just kind of went through it without incident... until I rolled my ankle. Ouch! Somehow I just wasn't watching and rolled it pretty good right under where the deer went off last week. Then from there in walking was kind of pained and maybe thats why I'm as sore as I am. Today the ankle feels better but not great. Mik'L did great and never even complained! She's always a good little trooper. We had fun and took a bunch of pic. I'm ready to try a different trail in Zion now... as I've done this one 4 times and never done anything else. Other than the little ones right off the road. Not to say this isn't AMAZING because it is... I'd just like to do them all. |
