For 6 weeks I've had to walk on eggshells in terms of doing anything physical. I just could not get over being sick for some reason, and it made me hurt in places it hasn't in a long time. Stunk. And before that, it was this bone spur on my right heal giving me grief. But now I'm putting on some mileage again on a consistent basis while carrying 15 pounds and am constantly improving on how fast I can go (as well as how good I feel). But the whole experience has made me a little more cautious about getting out at full throttle again.

So, (partly due to a lack of a partner) San Pedro Martir is out, but San Grogonio, San Jacinto, and Santa Rosa are in for short trips through April. Longer trips are going to be tough to do this year, but we (the family) agreed that I would do my Sierra High Route thing this summer if possible. But really, everything depends upon how the shorter winter/spring trips pan out. So here's to being optimistic!

What's on your plate?
