Wednesday Dec 28 |
| Walking 42:00 [3]0.8 mi (52:31 / mi) +500m 11:05 / km | |
| |
| Went to the Catskills with the original plan of hiking up the Peeks***** mountain. We arrived at the parking spot that was all occupied with other cars so it was plan B. We went down the road and found a place about two miles away to park the car. We went up the other mountain range first passing by this "hill". Yes, on the trail marker it was called a hill. Sat on the top waiting for the other two hikers to catch up and then went across the ridge. The real distance seems longer just no marker at the top saying "you have reached the top of the hill." |
| Hiking 1:50:00 [1]7.0 mi (15:43 / mi) | |
| shoes: Integrator O spikes |
| Going across the ridge, which was really flat and fast, in three inches of snow blazing the trail the whole way. Ran over 1/2 of the time with the two other hikers. We were not alone seeing plenty of deer, coyote and other non-human tracks. Maybe moose? We turned around thinking it would take a while to get down the hill just we flew dropping the .8 miles in about 10 mins. We jogged it slowly only taking it easy for the rocky parts or stream crossing. We finished with lots of daylight. Oh well...... |
Tuesday Dec 27 |
| Running 1:02:00 [2]5.5 mi (11:15 / mi) +300m 5:59 / km | |
| |
| Ran up to the top of the hill overlooking the Hudson River. Took 32 mins to reach the top this includes stopping once for a bathroom and several times to places arrow anytime the trail forked so that my brother and husband could follow me up the same path. Looked around for about two mins jogging slowly and headed back down as the plan was only to go out for an hour. I met them and the view was so great due to the lack of winter haze. I walked slowly with them and only towards the end as daylight became an issue my brother and I went to the top. Later on my brother and I took off again running to the top so this time is added in the other part is while I was walking. |
| Hiking 2:30:00 [1]4.5 mi (33:20 / mi) +300m 17:10 / km | |
| shoes: Integrator O spikes |
| Hking back up and down with my husband and brother to the top of hill. My brother and I made it to the top since the last 800 m was rather steep with loose rocks. We ran around on the top looking at the old foundations and houses that were abondaned(sp.) in the early 70's. Left once we realized the day was going to be short getting down. Made it back with about 15 more mins of light. |
