I went out early this morning for a backpack training hike at Mt. St. Francis. The weather was perfectly cool and someone had just cut all the grassy paths, making foot placement much safer.
I felt heavy with my pack on. Yesterday I trail ran here without a pack and today I felt every single extra pound I was carrying. Every footfall jarred my knees and I spent a lot of time on the downhills focusing on not letting the extra weight slam my feet into the ground. It was tough!
I stopped to take this self portrait at the edge of a meadow. I've always wished I was taller...
