Week Summary Dec 12 18

Mon - off

Tue-AM: 1:19, 2500 ~ Green Mt.
Up and down 1st Saddle.  Kind of a test outing.  I could feel the shin a bit hiking, but it definitely didnt make it worse.  Rather, like usual, a little activity seemed to actually make it feel a bit better.

Wed - off
LA screening of Unbreakable at Occidental College in the evening.

Thu-AM: 2:23, 4000 ~ Mt. Baldy (10,064)
Couldnt resist the chance to get into the San Gabriel Mts with Dominic, Jorge, Chris and Katie as the local tour guides. Though not my first time in the range, the Gabes are impressively steep, high and rugged, especially considering their extreme proximity to L.A.

Sun-PM: 2:08, 2600 ~ Green Mt.
Up 3rd access and down 1st/2nd access with Jocelyn. It was a remarkably warm day, so I started back to the hills a day early. We took it easy, enjoying the spectacular weather and laying down fresh tracks through slushy snow. Shin felt notably better than it typically has the past two weeks.

Hours: 5h50min
Vert: 9100

A week of semi-random outings with the emphasis being on really just trying to take it easy on my shin.  By the end of this week I could feel discernible improvement and I think its ready to get back out there with some consistent hiking before I tentatively dip my toes back into the waters of easy jogging. Im determined to stay smart this time around.

Also, I have a new post over on my RT Blog.
