Washburn trail

I just figured out how to use Bluetooth to transfer files from my phone to my computer! So now I can post photos from yesterday's hike. It was supposed to be a hike to Breakneck Ridge, but the hike leader never showed, and so everyone who was waiting decided to hike the Washburn trail on Mt. Taurus instead. Even though the weather forecast in NYC wasn't for rain, when I got up to Cold Spring it was alternately misting/drizzling. I'm a bit glad we decided against climbing the face of Breakneck because the rocks might have been slippery and, well..! It was a great day for hiking though. All morning it was like hiking in a cloud forest.

It was a good hike, but it was hard, especially the uphill parts. I am worried that I have not trained enough. I really should have gone hiking more this past month. Three times a week on the stairmaster at the gym is nothing like the full-body exertion that is hiking.
