Skyline Trail Won

[darxus]

Yesterday cathijosephine and I hiked the Skyline Trail at Middlesex Fells. I was really enjoying it. Beautiful woods, relatively jagged terrain. Until about half way through the 7 miles. At about two thirds of the way and four hours in, I was done. We found South Border Road far more easily than we had any business doing without a map or knowledge of the area, and walked along the road the rest of the way.

Today I am really wonderfully sore. That will certainly happen again, but shorter next time.

cathijosephine could have done the rest of the trail, and keeps saying she can't understand how I can run for 25 minutes straight (which she can't) and not hike that trail.

Sprint energy vs long endurance. Very different. (I know 25 minutes isn't "sprinting" but, you know...) If you were going for hour, hour and a half runs, I might agree with her. and the world would end if that happened ;)

Yeah it doesn't surprise me at all, they're very different kinds of exertions. But it's interesting.

I so totally want to do this with you sometime! I love the Fells!

I'm hoping to do it every week or two.
